        <description>Coming to the aid of a woman in need would usually be something to be commended.
But there are limits.
Two men who saw a woman being beaten with a stick by her ex-boyfriend in Oildale jumped in and saved her. But they used the same stick as they beat the ex-boyfriend unconscious, and now they&#039;re under arrest on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
Jerry Bogue, 38, the ex-boyfriend, is currently recovering at a local hospital. He&#039;ll be arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and spousal abuse when he&#039;s better, according to deputies.
Did Travis Martin and Anthony Gonzales, the men who beat Bogue, thereby saving the ex-girlfriend from further harm, cross the line?</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Darwinism at it&#039;s finest. LOL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Oildalian law, the girlfriend will now sue the Nights in Shining Armor for beating her boyfriend, since they have probably made up by now. She realizes that stealing his meth was just not right and that she deserved the caning.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Sounds like Oildale is the Bakersfield of Bakersfield.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My brother got in a scrape like this once. Yep. It was at a bar and he saw one of his classmates knock his girlfriend to the ground then jump on her and start beating the crap out of her, so he came to her rescue. The beater then turned on my brother. &amp;nbsp;Bad move. My &amp;quot;little&amp;quot; brother is 6&#039;5&amp;quot; and weighs about 230 pounds. He had to protect himself so he knocked this guy silly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fast forward one month. My brother was out bar hopping and standing outside a bar talking to people he knew when here comes the girlfriend beater up behind him - with an axe handle, and he clobbers my brother across the back of the head with it and knocked him cold.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Years after this happened was when I found out about it and I asked my brother if he filed charges against the guy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nope.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My brother has a pretty hard head. After that happened he got a job in construction where they were building a domatory at Texas Women&#039;s University. &amp;nbsp;It was seven stories and Bro was the guy installing concrete balconies outside each room. &amp;nbsp;The got to the very last one, on the seventh floor and the crane DROPPED this two ton concrete balcony onto the scaffolding where my brother was standing. &amp;nbsp;He fell SEVEN floors and landed on the safest place on his body - his head. &amp;nbsp;He got up, dusted himself off and walked into the a building where they kept the heavy equipment and collapsed. &amp;nbsp;He spent the next eleven months in physical therapy and got paid something like $80,000.00 aside from all the free medical care. I told him, &amp;quot;You with the hard head, knew exactly what you were doing, didn&#039;t you.&amp;quot; He paid off his house with that money.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt; font-family: &quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;In self defense, they always taught me, avoid a fight at all costs, but if you are forced to, then make sure you end it.&amp;nbsp; I had a buddy who stopped a mugging utilizing submission techniques that did very little damage to his opponent.&amp;nbsp; A minute later, the same guy comes back at him with a knife.&amp;nbsp; Round two ended up a little different.&amp;nbsp; The attacker ended up with a few broken bones, a dislocated shoulder, and was knocked unconscious when he was thrown back.&amp;nbsp; My friend, however, ended up with a knife wound in his shoulder.&amp;nbsp; Lesson learned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt; font-family: &quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt; font-family: &quot;&gt;When people know they are beat, they will resort to desperate measures.&amp;nbsp; I wonder what a guy who is capable of beating up a woman while threatening to kill her would do if given any opportunity to recover?&amp;nbsp; Do you knock him semi-conscious, out of pity, and hope that you can escape with an injured woman in tow, crossing your fingers he doesn&#039;t go grab a gun and follow you.&amp;nbsp; Or do you try to hold him down and trust he doesn&#039;t wiggle free and find a hidden weapon?&amp;nbsp; Why give him the opportunity?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt; font-family: &quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt; font-family: &quot;&gt;I guess they should have used nerf bats, or perhaps their hands so that they would end up with broken fingers, or perhaps they should have just talked him down with diplomacy&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Sad as it sounds, there are limits and our justice system does not advocate revenge nor retaliation.  The guy got a good ass-whipping but what they did to him was nearly the same as what he did to her and therefore illegal.  The guys should have practiced restraint and performed a citizens arrest.  Thank God they were there to save her but unfortunately they allowed their own aggression to get them into trouble.  &lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;I won&#039;t argue the law or even point out it is, after all, Oildale. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said public resources spent on jailing and prosecuting those two guys is public resources wasted. Was there criminal intent? As I see it Bogue got what he deserved and for most of us who are sick of crime and seeing the perps walk on technicalities it&#039;s a satisfying pleasure to see a bad person suffer the consequence of a bad act.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the circumstances only a moron would think they&#039;re doing something good to charge those guys with anything and stick them in a cell. Give &#039;em a verbal warning and let &#039;em go. Too many real criminals walk because there aren&#039;t enough resources to prosecute them and jail space to hold them.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;I agree with avanti... any resources will be wasted, and it sounds like these guys have a pretty good defense.  They were placed in an unusual and intense situation that required physical force.  Unlike police, they presumably did not have restraint equipment on hand to keep the suspect under control.  Another good restraint device is lack of consciousness.  Obviously the whole story isn&#039;t out yet, but they didn&#039;t do any permanent damage, from what it sounds like, so I don&#039;t see how they went over the top.  Now if they&#039;d killed the guy after he was out, or did a severe amount of damage in some intentional way apart from that moment, it would be different. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wonder what he would have done to them if they had walked in and said &quot;we hearby place you under citizen&#039;s arrest&quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;There is a fine line between saving someone and vigilante justice. I can&#039;t say from the information that has been released if that line was crossed in this case, but that is probably the motivation for the arrests and investigation. The question that needs to be answered is did these guys just do what was needed to save the woman and prevent harm to themselves or did they cross the line into vigilantism and continued to beat the attacker after he was subdued. Right now, there&#039;s not enough information to answer that question.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

That is allowed by law, just like&amp;nbsp;what these&amp;nbsp;two guys&amp;nbsp;did. But when the cops use excessive force, they get fired and or charged with a crime. If these guys would have stopped once the guy was subdued, they would be fine. But they went overboard. They got what they deserved.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Since the guy got knocked out, they clearly went overboard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the real question is, was he knocked out intentionaly? Did the good samaritans do it with malice? I dont think they did. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thats why we have a justice system where the lawyer will prove them innocent because there wasnt any malice behind there attack :)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Who&#039;s to say that the knockout was overboard?  One well-placed blow can knock a person out.  So far, I do&#039;t believe there&#039;s been anything to indicate that they repeatedly beat him in the head, or if one of them got lucky with one good hit.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;On a more serious note, would they have still been arrested if the stick wasnt used? I mean since attacking someone with my fist can be construed as assault with a deadly weapon, I am chuck norris certified.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I agree with you that there should have been limits to the response of the two neighbors.  It&#039;s  all theoretical because we were not there; but,  looking at it from the outside as we are doing, is there an inherent limit  to what can justifiably be done in a situation like that.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;I hope he goes to prison for beating this girl friend. Yes once in prison he will meet his kind. They will see him as weak for attacking his girl friend then whining in public. I&#039;d be embarrassed to show my face. As for the two who rescued the woman. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR STEPPING UP FOR THIS WOMAN. Usually a weak man like this has many more victims in the past and will have in the future. I would support if someone got a fund going for these two GOOD SAMARITANS if no law firm steps up for them. I would donate to a fund which has been set up. As for those who believe they went to far. I have seen the countless victimization of others and remember as a youngster on various occasions stepped up. I was only 18 years this one time and this guy was beating a 8 month pregnant ex-girl friend at a bus stop. He had broke her nose as I got out of my car alone after midnight in East Los Angeles. I now what happens to someone when they see others in need and step in. When your adrenaline pumps you do not stop until the criminal stops. You have to stop the threat and you keep going until they say uncle or you knock them out. This guy here ran, luckily for me cause I was scared, getting tired, but I didn&#039;t stop pounding till the threat was gone. I then got her in my car and took her three blocks to the Police Station. I told them what I did to him and she agreed. She was given medical attention and thanked me. The police also thanked me and patted&amp;nbsp; me on the back sent on my way and waited to be called for a witness once they arrested him. I had this happen to me two more times over the next several months where I was in a position to help someone being assaulted, it is scary. But people do it. &amp;nbsp;I bet this idiot in Bakersfield kept fighting till they dropped him and if he didn&#039;t who cares.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can see him now in the hospital thinking how he can sue these two GOOD SAMARITANS&amp;nbsp;civilly. When he gets to prison he will get a jail house lawyer to help him do it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ya see unless something is done immediately for&amp;nbsp;the victim, the victim&amp;nbsp;becomes more severely injured. The Law Enforcement unless there at the time of the crime&amp;nbsp;can only respond when called. I am thank full for the Law Enforcement here in Kern County. I support them&amp;nbsp;and know they do an excellent job. Just think everyday they go out and enforce the Law and have to remain with in the Law. That&#039;s hard to do, but they they do it. They are professionals and are trained,&amp;nbsp; and yet they also have emotions.&amp;nbsp; Unless these two citizens have been trained how can they be prosecuted. They just wanted to stop the threat.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Wow, and they weren&#039;t even being attacked? You mean, they were trying to defend a helpless woman, who was being beaten. I guess if you are trying to defend  yourself, the LAW finds fault, but as long as you are trying to protect someone else, it&#039;s o.k to use &quot;OVERKILL&quot; and hospitalize.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The men should be charged. There was no reason for beating the suspect to the point of unconsciousness. Any woman who has been beaten to this degree is not a virgin to being assaulted. Unfortunately, calling the police should have been the only intervention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Had these men been injured themselves trying to protect this woman, would be greatly disappointed to know, that 9 times out of 10, she will go back to this &quot;woman-beater&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I agree with Lana...he would know my license plate number from constant reminder....lol.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Certainly if I was getting my a** beat, I&#039;d appreciate the help from anyone!! I&#039;m glad the charges were dropped as they should&#039;ve been in the first place.&amp;nbsp; And maybe she will go back to the woman beater but at least these guys won&#039;t have to look back and say they should have, could have and would have while she could&#039;ve been 6 feet under.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;What is more pathetic, a woman-beater, or a woman that continually finds herself being beaten by the same woman-beater?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&#039;t want to be 6 ft under trying to protect a woman that doesn&#039;t want to protect herself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe my point may be understood if I phrase it like this......&amp;quot;Shanequa, was being beat by Tyrone, but &amp;quot;Dre and T-Bone jumped Tyrone and beat him almost to death&amp;quot;. Now, maybe there will be a different outlook...hmmm no question about whether Dre and T-Bone are gang members...no questions about whether Dre and T-Bone have previous criminal records... no question about whether Dre and T-Bone ever had previous trouble-making past?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How odd this forum is?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those men had no right to beat that man unconscious...they became judges; jury; and executioners. What gave them the right to exact that punishment?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I agree that it&#039;s real sad that a women will either stay with or go back to a low life snake like that. But they do.    These two men put an ass- beaten on this guy that was probably long over due.</description>

&lt;p&gt;There are a few people who will ALWAYS jump to conclusions before all is known. Always have been, always will be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This incident happened in public and the public chose to act. Pure and simple. Maybe, notice the maybe, &lt;i&gt;maybe &lt;/i&gt;they knew the guy would be a continued threat if conscious. I still don&#039;t know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The D.A., at least in this case, showed some common sense in dropping charges. Thanks to all who spoke up, blogged and e-mailed to keep me posted yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

No I did...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Michele,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No I did not, furthermore; I did not use the name Tre, I used Dre. I am a firm believer in &quot;Freedom of Speech&quot; , even if it isn&#039;t something I want to hear. I also believe in everyone having  rights to their own opinions. I can&#039;t determine someone&#039;s race just by their name, but you make a good argument for the alleged racial profiling done against blacks when they apply for jobs....THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH Michele, PRICELESS. It&#039;s odd, but I know a white guy named Tre, and a white guy named T-Bone, but those aren&#039;t their birth names. Their birth names are Trevis and Timothy. I have a very, very warped sense of humor, so I don&#039;t think you could possibly know what I consider funny to be. Hmmm....now you dictating to me what is necessary and funny....that&#039;s FUNNY :)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;LMAO.....It was a typo Michele, let go of the bone. I used the name Dre to make the point, in the original scenario but in the post reference I did type Tre, let me correct that...&amp;quot;DRE&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;I really don&#039;t care what this topic is about, my point is to show how different people view issues when ethnicities are different from their own. I did not appreciate the comments made in other blogs when the stories were related to&amp;nbsp;minorities and how acceptable the forums were to deduce the issues at hand to racial circumstance, and it is&amp;nbsp;my right to post&amp;nbsp;my opinion. It seems&amp;nbsp;harsh to&amp;nbsp;point out differences we have no control over such as ethnicity when&amp;nbsp;the issue at&amp;nbsp;hand requires not our judgments and insecurities&amp;nbsp;but our compassion. The men are guilty of assault with a deadly weapon, and they should be charged. We know now that they won&#039;t be, and as understanding as many are to this issue, these men took the law into their own hands, and they should have been charged accordingly. Oh...michele, I originally was just giving my opinion....you didn&#039;t need to reply but in doing so you opened the door, now I&#039;m closing it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;It doesn&#039;t matter now. They will NOT be charged as the DA has said there is no way they could get a jury to convict them. I agree. The &amp;quot;heat of the moment&amp;quot; defense would have been employed in any case and would have been successful. Anselmo is right about malice. Even if there were, there is no way it could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. As to them getting a public defender had they been charged, Are you serious? There would have been a line of pro bono lewyers to handle this case. If not for the idea that they would hope someone would protect a loved in that situation, then for the exposure!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
