I agree...I didn’t say Matthew was a Rhodes Scholar, but he didn’t need to be killed.
That might be true, but perhaps it’s better to select better cases than a pervert being engaged in dangerous sexual behavior to make a case for armed self defense. It doesn’t play very well in most parts.
I’ll tell you what case would be better with most people. How about a guy who has to defend himself from a gay co-worker who continually keeps hitting on him despite repeated rejection and being told the guy isn’t gay, who finally tries to rape the straight co-worker? Now that’s a case I’ll get on board with. Or realistically, a guy of lower rank in the military having to fight off a gay male superior who’s attempting to rape him. This happens all the time. that’s the guy who needs to be armed.
