...In defense of your own life or anothers, deadly force is justified.
If his life had been in danger, absolutely. But it wasn't.

How many times does a property owner have to let an illegal trespasser physically assault him before it is OK to use deadly force, mind you, the property owner had already been physically assaulted twice, and your position is the property owner does not have a right yet.
So, one number. How many times does a victim need to be attacked before he/she can use deadly force?
Real simple question Limp Brain Commie.
Answer the question.....
So by your thinking, won't refer to it as logic as it isn't, if a little old lady attacks you, you can shoot her? No, sorry son, doesn't work that way. An "attack" in itself doesn't necessarily justify deadly force.
Means, motive, opportunity. You demonstrate those, you're justified.
Did the dead guy have the means to kill the shooter? Nope. Motive, sure tensions were high and both clearly weren't thinking straight. Opportunity? Nope, he was unarmed while standing on the porch while the shooter was a safe distance away.
What danger was the shooter in the moment he fired? Answer that.
