Wife mugged in parking lot in 1993. Pushed to ground and then foot in chest to pull purse away.
Wife suffered hair-line fracture of neck vertebrae. Medical problems happened years later with 2 fusion surgeries after disc degradation. I am saying that push to pavement is bad trauma and you don’t know the extent of injuries. I take the push as life threatening.
Once again, this is “stand your ground” terminology being used in place of “self defense”. This is clearly not a SYG case, as the shooter was on the ground and assuming he legitimately defended himself, safe retreat from that position was not really an option.
I could see him shooting if he continued to assault him. But, that was an exaggerated response - in my opinion.
