A young man, who police identify as a gang member, is dead. The person who shot him told police they stepped in when they saw D’Kobe Jordan threatening someone. Police have not released the shooter's name, only that he has a gun carry permit. They say Jordan was pointing a gun at another man in a parking lot. It happened around 6:30 Sunday night, so it was easy to see, that’s when the witness stepped in to help.

Note how quickly they are to cast doubt on the shooter's justification, i.e. if he had a "propensity to violence".
Under self-defense law, that factor (if it exists) is immaterial. What IS material is if that force was necessary to stop someone from killing or egregiously injuring an innocent person.
If the facts on the ground say so, Satan himself could be the shooter, and legally justified under the law. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
