Mob situations are bad news. Even if armed, it's probably the best course to retreat if one can do so safely.

Agreed. But as one of my Korean friends found out in 1992 (they've since moved to Sacramento) there are times when retreat is not an option.
Yung said he shot and killed two black gentlemen and probably wounded at least ten more in defending the family store. He was armed with a full-auto (and fully illegal, I might add) MAC-10 and he said the LAPD never said 'boo' about the two corpses in his parking lot. Being trapped on the rooftop they had to make shure no one burned the place underneath them and there's also the little issue of how the LAPD officially abandoned the area for about 30 hours.
This family was on their own.
Also of note is that the Urban League and the NAACP never sued them for "violating the rights" of the duty-free shoppers.
I think the same rules would apply if a mob of Muslims went on a rampage and the police did nothing about it. They'd be hard-put to justify prosecuting anyone who acted in self-defense or even general public defense in the absence of those LEO's the liberals are always telling us to depend upon.
