my house was egged by a group of lowerclassmen (we are all minors) and i was wondering about michigans policy on getting in a fight were they threw the first punch. i mean i do verbally abuse them on the bus but when my house gets egged isnt that another facter. also i read this.
"Voluntary (Mutual) Combat
Where the plaintiff voluntarily engages in a fight with defendant for the sake of fighting and not as a means of self-defense, the plaintiff may not recover for an assault or battery unless the defendant beat the plaintiff excessively or used unreasonable force. If two people voluntarily enter a brawl, it is unlikely that either will be able to sue the other. However, if one falls, and the other takes advantage of the situation by kicking him and causing injury, that act may well be considered to be an excessive use of force which would support a cause of action."
i plan on talking some crap to these kids with my friends and verbally abusing them more until they throw the first punch making me and my friends act in self defense for eachother which will end up in kicking there ass. i dont need any opinions on doing this or not doing this but i need to know if i could be charged with anything from the police or if i could get them charged with anything for egging my house or throwing the first punch.
i thought to myself my defense it they threw the first punch, and egged my house(i have a picture of my house with egg on it)
and if they ruled out that i didnt have enough evidence that they egged my house, they still hit us first
