I've seen this video before. My CPL instructor started out the class by showing us a different video of a gang member who spent about 3 minutes talking about if he runs into a cop he'll just shoot them and nobody can tell him what to do and blah blah blah but it's def one of those things you watch and makes you want to carry.
You need a gun to protect yourself from the criminals outside the law.
You need a CPL to protect yourself from the criminals inside the law.
This is a good example of why we should be able to protect property with deadly force.
I would have been in fear of great bodily harm or possibly death. Its obvious that the car was blocked in, and the attacker was trying to go through the windows.
Yep.
Who here would guarantee me, or a jury, that the man in the video would stop at damaging the vehicle, and not, in the next step, injure or kill one of the occupants?
Only in Texas...stainless1911 said:This is a good example of why we should be able to protect property with deadly force.
Same here in Michigan. Fear of death, great bodily harm, or sexual penetration will authorize deadly force.
You are correct; but as a group we need to start citing all of the requirements for deadly force.
There are the three sub requirements that must be met for the use of deadly force.
1) Fear of Death.
2) Fear of Serious Bodily Injury.
3) Fear of Forcible Sexual Penetration.
In addition to these three reasons for the use of deadly force, the following three conditions must exist in order for the use of deadly force to be justifiable:
1. Imminent - One of the three above listed reasons for the use of deadly force must be about to happen; it cannot be something that will happen tomorrow or in a few weeks.
2. Intent - The attacker has to have demonstrated some sort of intent. This can be verbal or non-verbal. The display of a weapon, verbal threats, or aggressive advances after being told to stay away are all indications of intent.
3. Ability – The attacker has to have the ability to carry through with their intended attack.
If someone says they are going to shoot you, but have no firearm, then they do not have the ability
to shoot you at that moment.
This is not in reference to the video; just something I noticed about the cites in the thread.
