”If you were in the opponent's tent, is it *YOUR* ground, or is it theirs?”

I think your question may be quite relevant at trial.

Also relevant would be issues of “reasonable force” and “disparate force”.

Ask yourself the question, “What would a female police officer do if similarly assaulted by those twins?” Do you give her the chair?

Also relevant is whether there was an opportunity to retreat from the assault.

I don’t think “stand your ground” issues matter if retreat is not an option.

A lot will come down to what choices did people have at various instances of time and what choices they made.

Wait. Where do you get this "assaulted" word from the actions that have been described?

Yes, I know the legal @$$holes describe "assault" as any "unwanted touching", but rational people know what the word "assault" means, and just putting your hand on someone's arm does not constitute "assault."

Also relevant is whether there was an opportunity to retreat from the assault.

You mean like just leave, as he was asked to do? Well yeah, he could have just left.

His life would have been better off had he just left.
