I don't know about there, but here there wouldn't be much the police could do. Oh yeah, we could make the report and end up with an arrest for agg assault due to the severity of the injury, but it would be a non-starter in the DA's office. Unless there is more to the story than the initial post, what you have is mutual combat willingly engaged in by both participants and Piper lost. Yes he was severely injured, but that is what happens when adults fight in the real world. If you build the tracks and tie yourself to them, you don't have a real complaint when a train runs you over. It boils down to who swung first and whether either had opportunity to retreat. I worked a case last year in which a thug went to a guys house with a bat to collect fifty dollars. He ends up breaking the guys arm. In court he claimed the fellow had threatened him with a knife and it was self-defense. The jury bought that, dumb as it sounds, and the fellow was declared innocent. Results like that are one of the reasons DA's hate to go to bat and waste time and effort for people who just make victim status by being the better of two chumps. How will it work there?
