Reminds me of some of the best legal advice I ever read. If you ever need to defend yourself in any way, tell the authorities ONLY that you were the victim of a crime and feared for your life...
Exactly...
When the bad guy turned and ran the danger was over
This statement makes no sense. What about the danger of not paying his bills or not geting food for his kids? Do you think the power company cares why you don't have any money?
I see it as a totally righteous shoot.
And in a majority of states, you'd be wrong - then convicted and sent to prison..
Armed robbery is not a capital crime in any jurisdiction. The guy is in front of you with a weapon demanding money...cap him on the spot in the front.
Guy is running away? You better tackle him because it's not self defense anymore.
Exactly...
