Allow citizens to defend themselves without fear of jail time

The Issue

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley has declared she is against "self-help". Her mandate flies in the face of common-sense. She, and her organization has declared war on those who would defend themselves from criminals. A man stopping a criminal from breaking into his vehicle is facing assault and battery charges. Please stop this insanity. You, as a human being, have the right to defend you, your property, and your family. Some politician shouldn't be able to jail you for doing what's right.
