You have a six-foot tall person straddling you, you're on your back getting your head pounded into the sidewalk, your nose is severely broken and you're choking on your own blood in a sensation not unlike waterboarding. The perp isn't letting up and you have a very real fear that you are going to die if you don't do something drastic, so you shoot him.
You aren't going to question how old the SOB is, You're effing dying here!
BTW, imho he didn't abuse the perp, he just shot him, once.
Excellent point! George was supposed to ask Trayvon for his ID so he’d know whether or not to let Trayvon kill him with his own gun or not? “Oh, you’re a CHILD?.. Well then, punch away, Trayvon!!!”
