Did he "jump the gun"?

[Spiderman11]

Since when was theft of a motor vehicle a forcible felony? Apparently I am not up to speed on this subject because I thought that in order for a felony to be considered "forcible", there has to be a threat of physical danger to oneself. I didn't see that in the video.

It's not . . . 16-11-131

As used in this Code section, the term 'forcible felony' means any felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any person and further includes, without limitation, murder; felony murder; burglary; robbery; armed robbery; kidnapping; hijacking of an aircraft or motor vehicle; aggravated stalking; rape; aggravated child molestation; aggravated sexual battery; arson in the first degree; the manufacturing, transporting, distribution, or possession of explosives with intent to kill, injure, or intimidate individuals or destroy a public building; terroristic threats; or acts of treason or insurrection.

You are correct. I didn't watch the whole video and didn't realize that the guy was not in his car. Ken Ford pointed it out earlier.

I trade guns much like guns, bikes, hell like everything except my wife.
So I keep my stuff fairly nice in case I need to trade.

To each his own.
You have a great plan that works for your needs and wants.
What more could a man ask for ?

Being of a very low IQ to start with, it doesn't take much convincing to claim "mental problems".
