I get that the Marine was trying to do what he thought was the right thing. But the homeless guy had not touched anyone yet. Homeless guy probably was saying things that could be interpreted as threatening, but that’s not enough.

A NYC district attorney and then a NYC jury will judge this Marine. He is in serious trouble.

If he were on a plane and started yelling about how he didn’t care if he died and threatening people, how would that go for him?

Not enough for what?

Menacing in the third degree doesn't require "touching".

One can appropriately defend themselves in that scenario.

Now we will learn the big exception to Bragg’s policy on non-prosecutions, if you get my drift.
