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 |
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
