I feel the SAME WAY as.anybody .....let me think now..NO, Most guys here. De flame excluded.

Let me ask you LEOS on here first.
Hypothetical scenario. Dude on floor draws sidearm and shoots scary thug. You check his carcass and there's nothing in that waistband that's hanging low and loose.
What would happen the moment your coworkers show up on the scene?

Second question. What is the likely scenario for pathetic white dude when charges with each other are discussed.?

Third, what about the place he will spend the night or months of not affording bond?

Forth, how many battles will he have from there on out?

I want to learn from those who have been there done that. Those Law Enforcement Officers who have investigated those charged with violent felonies.
Was the nerdy white guy acting appropriately?Good move, bad move?


Good question. I'd like to hear more as well. My guess would be it depends on the laws of wherever you are. In Georgia you have no duty to retreat and if you have a "reasonable fear" of death or "great bodily harm" you are good to pop a cap. However, what the meaning of the words "reasonable fear" and "great bodily harm" are likely to be up to a DA and possibly a jury. Its a crazy world we live in. I think the reality is that you would be caught between the rock of getting "Reginald Dennied" and the hard place of being in the clutches of the legal system where you potentially face either criminal charges or getting sued by the dear departed brother's family in civil court. The reality these days is that your fate could hang on the melanin level of the district attorney.
