And if still moving should be shot again
Well, no.
You see if you shoot someone in commission of a crime (rioting) that is legally distinct from shooting someone not in commission of a crime (laying there, bleeding, and twitching).
It’s like shooting a burglar in your house, who may be said to represent a reasonable threat to your life, person or property … you simply do not know what their intent is … but once that burglar has left and is running down the street he may have your TV but unless he’s shooting at you or someone else you are no longer acting in defense of any life.
Clearly, then, the need is for improved marksmanship.
But that aside, when it comes to rioters I will repeat what I’ve occasionally said: if you anticipate that you may need to rely on your neighbors in circumstances of mutual defense against a violent rabble it is very important that you are part of a group with some cohesion. This means principally three things: first some level of training together even if it’s only going to the gun range so that you may have some confidence and trust in each other (actually, other non militia-like sort of just being neighbors who get along is more important); second there needs to be clear mutually agreed on rules of engagement to protect everyone in your neighborhood from putting themselves in harms way needlessly as well as give everyone some sense of what the rest will do or not do; finally there needs to be a plan to improve your chances … everything from building movable barriers in advance to control ways you’ll be approached to making sure there will be communication to having folks with drones to both provide situational awareness and to provide evidence for use later to back up your claims that they actually were rioters as well as be used to help identify and dox any rioters.
The best way to not have to deal with rioters is for the rioters to know they’re outmatched … that’s why AntiFa stay in cities like Seattle where they feel safe.
