It doesn't take much legal expertise to understand that the question I asked will be an important part of the kid's defense. Lots of folks here are giving him a pass on that shoot, yet haven't been able to come close to answering the question.
I answered your question in clear language. Did you read it?
Yep. The video posted just above shoes a single man small in stature closing the distance on a retreating person (if I am seeing the grainy video correctly)
Where this gets interesting to me is the "mob" aspect. I'd like to read some case law on how the "mob" aspect is factored into the perceived threat. At the time of the use of self defense, There was only one member of the mob in close proximity.
