It’s amazing how some people act as if you should wait to see how much harm your attacker plans to inflict before you fight back. That’s how it was in Zimmerman (he was just banging your head on the concrete, you don’t really know that he was trying to kill you).
The ADA seems to think Kyle should have waited until he was killed before he had a right to defend himself.
The DA’s line of questioning here ignored one simple reality—that when Kyle was in that situation, responding to two direct and likely life threatening attacks in the last minute, his adrenalin indubitably had gone sky high and he must have been in full “flight or fright” mode — reacting purely by instinct and self-preservation rather than intellect/cool and calm thought. Expecting him to render aid to his attackers at that point — rather than returning to his “plan A” of getting to safety with the local cops (who were down the block) — is absurd.
