But if you're agreeing that someone detaining you in that situation is a violation of your rights, then it would be a violation or Arbery's rights too, would you agree?
Objectively, it's not a violation of my rights (despite being innocent, and feeling wronged), because we have to make allowance for mistakes when folks are trying in good conscience to deal with crime, and not escalate all such situations to the point of death, since the police were on the way, at which point (assuming I'm innocent, a stretch in the case of Arbery) I can make my case to them, or a judge, or a jury.
You use the words feel, feeling and feelings often in your musings. You'd do very well to dump that word from your self-defense lexicon. If it's used anywhere in any state law, I am not familiar with it. "Belief" does appear in the language of self-defense law. It's used rather than the word feel for a reason.
