Dead guy is a white veteran. Several kids.
As is usual in these cases, the confrontation was not a case of one person attacking another without cause.
They got into a stupid argument about the old guy telling off kids that were making too much noise or something, and things escalated.
Which is, I think, the major problem with SYG. It more or less assumes there is an easily determined perpetrator and victim. And that is quite often not the case.
In this case neither party chose to retreat and now a man is dead. Does SYG help in some cases give people the illusion that not having the common sense to back down is okay? I don’t know, but it is problematic.
A clear case of one man being the agressor and the older guy being the victim. The white guy didn't have to call to the old man and stop him and he sure as he** didn't have to attack him.
As for the old guys gun escalating the problem that is pure BS, since the young guy is the one who chose to escalate the argument, even after the old guy tried to leave.
Self defense and STG laws do NOT cause these situations, what they do is save someone's a** from being beaten to death by an idiot.
