(17,502 posts)going around being a vigilante. I did not say we had to kill anyone. Why must you misrepresent what others say? You do that often.
In this specific case, the bike rider had every right to ride where he wanted. He has no moral or legal obligation to avoid any area. You said he had a moral obligation to avoid riding his bike in that area.
He was physically attacked by two people. He was under no moral or legal obligation to ask "my bad, do you just want my bike and wallet?" No. His response was proportional to the threat. He was on the ground being kicked by two younger and stronger guys. Type of weapon does not matter. Even in duty to retreat states, his shooting would most likely be ruled justified.
why do you assume the best of predators and the worst of defenders?
