Free Legal Advice:

It can make your claim of justifiable homicide in self-defense look a little sketchy if you then decapitate your attacker and wander the aisles of the local Wally World holding his severed noggin.

  6. That's just the traditional way of dispensing immediate justice. In our old mission house there were some old books from the British period with some grainy old photos of 1880's era local fellows who had done the same thing - and brought the head into the local British Magistrate to prove their point. I was sad to learn even when I was Nine that they got into trouble for that.
