he tried to disarm the small guy but made no effort to harm him.
***After the shooter saw that the guy was trying to disarm him even after a warning shot... that’s what escalated this to a lethal situation. I still think it was a bad shoot but now I can see why no charges are filed. At the very least some misdemeanor charges shoulda been filed, even if they wouldn’t have stuck, because a guy died over this shiite.
Well it did in fact end up lethal. However that was up to the guy that pulled the trigger. However the way I read the law as quoted in the one comment such lethal force is only justified if a reasonable person would judge there was a "substantial risk of death or serious bodily harm". Since the big guy obviously wanted to keep trespassing on the lawn until the verbal dispute was settled to his satisfaction, and since the big guy gave no indication of wanting to harm the small guy or anybody else. It is absurd to think that him trying to take the gun away was likely to be a prelude to a deadly attack. Seems 99.999% likely he just adamantly did not want to leave yet and did not want to be shot either.
What charge? Littering?
