In this incident, that's not what was happening—yet. If it escalated to a scenario like that, then the criteria for the jury to consider would be whether a reasonable person could feel threatened—given the same situation—to the point where self-defense was justified, and to the extent that the actions taken constituted legitimate self-defense.
I don't think that defense will fly under these circumstances—but that's for a jury to decide...
we don’t know if he made a “wrong” turn or not and it doest’t matter. He hadn’t hit anyone yet(that we know about).
He was on that street.
His car was beat on once.(guy with the flag pole ? )
People then did surround his car.
So how long do I wait for it to escalate for self-defense to be justified ?
Old saying: “Id rather be tried by 12 then carried by 6”
I don’t see it going to trial.
I’m thinking this kid should be on suicide watch.
I wonder if the bail proceedings will bring out both sides again ? especially if he has to make an appearance ?
If he gets bail, he’ll need protection and another place to live.
What a mess.
We concentrate on this driver and it really has been an interesting thread especially if we can cut through the “did not\did too” stuff.
But what kills me is, (forget the conspiracy stuff for a moment) the right was supposedly protesting the removal of statues, the left was there because the right was there - no other reason - and that hasn’t changed since the campaign\post election regarding protests, yet c-ville is the defining moment ?
God help us all.
