Wonder which one our “justice” system will punish the harshest?
No! It really is a question...
Hopefully the court/jury in Uvalde, TX (west of San Antonio) ain’t like the courts in Austin.
It is a good question.
Chasing the killer with a baseball bat looks justifiable and it looks from the article that the hero did nothing wrong. If the hero had started clubbing the killer, that would have been different, but it looks like he just held him until police arrived. God bless him.
Normally defense of other is the same as self defense and the force you use should not be significantly more deadly that the force used against you unless the opponent is a burglar in your home.
Here, the hero wasn’t really defending the victim who had died but was pursing the defendant. Looks good to me.
BTW, our justice system is not perfect but it is way ahead of whatever else is out there. However, these days perversity increases the closer you get to the federal level and the White House.
