So if a stranger walks up pointing a gun at me, I must comply or die?

Thats not the point, although you would like it to be.

The question is whether the accused in his own mind perceived the victim to exhibit the ability to use deadly force.That is the test. It is subjective, not objective.
Given that is the fact, the accused was unable to form the
necessary intent to prove mens rea for murder.

THe worst he can get is “manslaughter.” With a well selected jury, the accused woud be found Not Guilty.

One should never walk around in public with any object that looks like a real firearm. Bad things happen. Witness what happend with Alex Baldwin on the set of Rust.

There is a lot of ignorance about how forearms and pseudo forearms must be handled. The victim shared in that ignorance.Baldwin is now under indictment in New Mexico because of that ignorance.

Same here in this case. Who was ignorant? The victim or the accused? THere are a lot of juvenile gansters runing around with guns in Seattle. In Chicago, Wasington DC,and NYC too.We likely will be seeing more of these tragedies.

The ignorance question is a nice question that will never be asked in a criminal trial.The law should be applied, even if we do not like the outcome.

When a person puts you under the gun, comply. Its a great way to avoid being shot.

Ignorance.Its happening all over the pace.

Uhh, he’s got a gun.

It’s like I told my kids about driving....

So you’re stopped at an intersection and the light turns green but there is a big truck barreling into the intersection. Are you going to wait on the truck or go? Kid says “Go, cuz I have the green light”. Yeah, so when they pull your mangled body out of the car you’ll be able to say “...but I had a green light. I was riiight....”
