Clearly there was NOT. But then, I have this odd idea you don’t shoot someone who is retreating just because you are angry or feel insulted.
He didn’t appear to retreat until after h was shot. He was one millisecond away from finishing this shooter off. Clearly the violent assaulter was unhinged as most people wouldn’t aggressively throw a man to the ground for calmly stating the car was illegally parked. I for one would assume the violent person would be ready for a second strike and wanting to protect my life and if armed I would certainly protect myself immediately by pulling the gun as a millisecond is a millisecond. The debatable question here is in that millisecond would a reasonable person pull the trigger, I wasn’t in that circumstance looking into the crazed eyes of a thug who just violently assaulted me.
