[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To clarify a little more... in law it's called mutual combat, not fight. Schools can have stricter rules which is why fighting is not allowed in school but it is not a criminal offense. If you agree to "mutual combat" it does not matter who "throws the 1st punch". Police can arrest for disorderly conduct or "blocking the sidewalk". (yes there is a law against blocking a sidewalk) Injured parties can sue for bodily harm. [/quote] Mutual combat is only allowed in two states. And not Maryland. You have no right to assault someone. You do have a right to self defense or defense another. If you use excessive force to defend yourself, it becomes assault on your part.[/quote] In TX and MD it is explicitly legal. In OR it is explicitly illegal. Everywhere else is prosecutorial discretion.[/quote]
