Most liberals don't realize, to be under threat of life or death, the following conditions do NOT have to exist:
1. The other guy has to be bigger than I am.
2. The other guy has to be stronger.
3. The other guy has to be an adult.
4. The other guy has to show a weapon.
5. The other guy must have hit me first.
Yea, read those carefully. The first 4 are obvious. The 5th, not so much so. Read this carefully. I was told this by a state trooper:
I can run up to someone and punch them in the face. If I take off running, they can chase me to hold me down until the cops arrive. They CANNOT shoot me in the back. Or even shoot AT me. They CANNOT hold me down and beat me up and pound my head into the ground. Because now, they're the aggressor and I CAN FEAR FOR MY LIFE and use deadly force on them. So just because Zimmy was acting "creepy" Travvy had no right to hold him down and beat his head into the ground. At that point, you are the aggressor. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT LED UP TO THAT POINT. And stop saying that Zimmy is at fault because he didn't listen to the advice of the 911 operator. He is under NO OBLIGATION to do what this person says to do. Because at that point, he is no longer a threat to you; you are a threat to him. You can call the cops, hold him down until police arrive, etc etc. But if you behave in a way that risks his life, he may end yours. How big he is, how old he is, how strong he is....all irrelevant. If you think age matters ask a cop what they would do with a 10yo boy pointing a shotgun at them with his finger on the trigger. The result is the same. Double tap to the center mass. Fear of death trumps everything else. Just like you can't shoot someone stealing your car if you're not in it, you can't shoot someone running away. For any reason.
A point to ponder for you liberal whack jobs that think Travvy did nothing wrong here. Just like a purse snatcher can be caught and held down, they can't be beat to shit on the ground. Because thats unjustifiable force. You can disarm him if he has a weapon and hold him at gun point until the police arrive. But you cannot beat the shit out of him where he fears for his life because then the purse snatcher can shoot you and be totally justified. Just because you start it doesn't mean you can't defend yourself if your life becomes in danger. This of course only holds true if you back off, like in the "punch and run" scenario I spoke of before. Or the purse snatching thing. If you don't back off then you have what you have coming to you.
I can follow you all I want to. You turn around, confront me and beat my head into the ground, I'll put hot lead into your torso every time. If Travvy was so worried about someone following him, why didn't HE call the police? No, he choose to take matters into his own hands. And got a .357 cal hole in his chest for that choice. Not smart. Why didn't he turn and ask this guy what he was doing? If he's so big and tough, how hard is it to say "Excuse me, why are you following me?" Did he do that? No, he went MMA on him.
Bad choice. Last choice he made.
