De-escalate. ID the guy as best you’re able, remove yourself from the situation and file a report. He’s already walked away. You’re going to jail if you shoot him. The defensible time for lethal response was during the assault. After the fact would be perceived as vigilantism.

How do you de-escalate when he bum-rushing you while yelling at you he is going to f*** you up?

Scenario as described has the assailant walking away. Too late. If he returns and assaults you again before you’re able to remove yourself from the situation, then lethal response once again becomes defensible.

Shooting him de-escalates it pretty quick.
