here's also a law in Denmark's constitution saying that if the water between denmark and sweden freezes, and a swede crosses over to denmark on foot, it is within your rights to beat him/her with a stick until they leave. True fact.

I actually knew that, oh how smart I feel. I learned it from Humon.

Partially true;
It was never in the constitution.
It was a law.
That same law was amongst many others invalidated with the introduction of our first modern penal code in 1866.

So if I beat the **** out of a Swede (with a stick) during this time of the year, Can the Swede prosecute me?

Well as i wrote " if the water between denmark and sweden freezes, and a swede crosses over to denmark on foot, it is within your rights to beat him/her with a stick until they leave" So no.

What i'm saying is, can a (presumably) archaic law still be relevant?

If alll that was to happen, then yes. You could beat a swed with a stick.
