Show me in the penal code where it says the illegal can use physical force against the guard.

Show me anywhere where the guy had a sign on him saying "TRUMP BODY GUARD - DO NOT TOUCH.

He was just a guy in a suit.

Show me anywhere where the law permits a "guard" to steal a sign from a protester on a public sidewalk and walk away with it.

I wonder why you are completely ignoring the part where the illegal grabs the guard (by his weapon no less), thereby forcing the smackdown.

Your question assumes that (1) the man was an illegal; (2) that the Man knew the person who stole his sign was a "guard" and (3) the man knew the guy who stole his sign was armed and (4) he knew exactly where he had put his concealed weapon.

The New York Penal Code authorizes people who have items stolen from their presence to use reasonable force to retrieve that property and if the thief uses force against a person trying to retrieve their property that they are guilty of Third Degree Robbery.

Those are the facts.

Deal with them.

I guess we’ll have to wait for the lawsuit that will inevitably be filed by the illegal. That is, unless he wants to stay in the shadows.

If the evidence shows that the "guard" took the property without cause and prevented the man from lawfully retrieving his property by the use of reasonable force and that he was prevented from that by the use of force by the guard and that the guard was acting as an agent of Donald Trump, the billionaire, that illegal is going to be richer than you and me combined.

As I've already pointed out, Trump CANNOT allow something to be filed if he plans to stay in the race.

You’re just repeating yourself at this point.

“Your question assumes that (1) the man was an illegal; (2) that the Man knew the person who stole his sign was a “guard” and (3) the man knew the guy who stole his sign was armed and (4) he knew exactly where he had put his concealed weapon.”
1. Doesn’t matter.
2. Doesn’t matter.
3. Doesn’t matter.
4. doesn’t matter.

The definition of reasonable force is subjective and would be decided in a court of law. Deal with it.
