You would leave. I would leave. But who knows what the heck would a 17 year old drunk kid would do?
But it still doesn't change the fact that you cannot shoot someone who isn't threatening you without facing legal charges. Read the entire thread again. I think you missed the big picture. Mr. White ADMITTED to "accidentally" firing the gun. That is manslaughter -- NOT self-defense.
That is what Mr. White got convicted of and it is immaterial what you or I think...
Nothing is immaterial. We're put on this earth to make choices. What his lawyer resorted to in court doesn't matter as far as what happened that night. And I again say that you take a gang to a man's house and threaten his son, your life is in your hands an it's nobody's fault but your own, liberal courts notwithstanding.
That depends on the totality of the circumstances. If having the gun pointed at the intruders was legitimate, then just because the actor did not intend to pull the trigger it doesn't turn a legitimate action into manslaughter.
I can easily see the AD occurring when, depending on whose version one believes, the punk lunged at Mr. White, or tried to slap the gun away.
