“So what is the law regarding shooting another who is attempting to flee? I thought if a person is trying to run from a confrontation then shooting them is a felony and not self defense.”

1. Your local law may vary, but if they are fleeing, it’s probably a felony. In the middle of the action, can you tell for sure if they are fleeing or going for a better position?

2. In the middle of the action, your brain can send a signal to squeeze the trigger at about the same time his brain sends a signal to flee resulting in a shot in the back before you can stop the squeeze.

Your example #2 is exactly why the cops involved in shooting Saint Jacob Blake (the excuse for the Kenosha riots) in the back were likely justified. The reasons:

1. St. Blake was a known felon whom the cops were responding to a call on a sexual assault.
   
2. St. Blake was reaching for his weapon.
   
3. It is damn near impossible to ensure your own survival by allowing a known violent felon the opportunity to take the first shot or stab, as the presstitutes think the cops should have done.
