You would be legally defending yourself in this instance because, 1)you are SHURE the assaulter has a DEADLY weapon, 2) he has the weapon in the striking position, 3) He is coming toward you to remove your safe zone, 4) 1,2, and 3 establish by visible action that he is approaching with criminal intent, it is not necessary for him to utter a verbal threat, he is committing felony assault at this point without touching you. You are legitimately in fear of your life.
Wouldn't I be alright to do so?
Absolutely, you're legal and fully protected under SYG.
Generally a little more complex, but (most everyplace in America) minors are very well protected and allowed much latitude in self protection. Usually it is a misdemeanor crime for an adult to even annoy a minor.
The women part is very complicated, and I ain't goin' there.
Ok. Thank you.
Talisker, I could not agree with your post more if I tried.
Excellent analysis of this situation.
I believe certain forces are taking this unfortunate event and trying to manufacture an even more unfortunate event, and I am both disgusted and enraged.
This **** has to stop now before it spins out of control.
If the police depart has evidence that will explain this situation, then it MUST release it. If the black community can’t deal with it and decides to riot, then that’s their problem.
Just as an aside comment, Sean Hannity needs to shut his stupid mouth on this subject on which he has no extra information. No one needs to comment any further, or run any more photographs endlessly, or march, or resist we much, or any other such nonsense until the investigation by law enforcement is concluded.
Thanks.
