I want to see a lawyer address the legalities of presenting & using deadly force by an individual vs a hostile mob which hasn’t quite commenced assault but is plainly toeing the line where lethal harm can be quickly completed before an effective defense. Rephrased: what constitutes “an upraised knife” (per the old legal aphorism)?
The Portland mob pulled a guy from his car and beat him into the hospital. Then there’s the case of Reginald Denny.
At some level an illegal roadblock is a kidnapping.
