My initial reaction to watching the video is that Ung was in a bad bad situation. Two guys were advancing on him with apparent intent to attack/hit him. So, it may very well be a justified act of self-defense. Sloppy and possibly avoidable. But, still, self-defense.
How it turns out in court is anyone's guess. It's just uncertain.
One thing is certain, though. This is yet another (why are there soooo many?) corroborating case of the simple and powerful wisdom of HankT's Postulate of Civilian Self-Defense[suP]©[/suP] which is:
It is a bad strategy to shoot an unarmed person.
Ifonly Ung had included analysis of this unassailable concept in his university studies.... he might not be in the legal pickle he is in now.
Ung has now learned that HPCSD[suP]©[/suP]always applies. There has never been an exception to this vaunted concept. And there never will be.
Good luck, Mr. Ung.
