Face reality. They didn't find him beat up and bloody. He was unscathed. Can't make the situation into what it wasn't. In Wisconsin if you are going to plead self-defense after taking the life of another human by use of a firearm you had either have visible injuries and your victim best have powder burns on him/her. Is that right or wrong? It doesn't matter. That's the way it is. Something to remember when you walk around with a "widow maker" in your pocket. Wisconson courts take the taking of a human life very seriously. As it should. Another thing to remember. As barbaric as it sounds if that moment of push comes to shove happens and there is no other course but to use deadly force don't leave a wounded victim. As impartial as any jury professes to be the sight of a paralyzed victim in a wheelchair is going to have an emotional affect. Juries are made of humans. In Wisconsin a person's trial does not begin after he/she is arrested. It begins at the moment you pull the trigger.
Captain, I am fully aware that Jesus was not found bloodied. The point I was trying to make, and so stated, was that it was not the 911 call that screwed Jesus, it was the events prior to it that did that. Also your comment of, "...don't leave a wounded victim." is quite disturbing. Are you suggesting delivering a coup de gras to a wounded assailant? If that assailant no longer poses a threat, that would be murder. Just ask the Oklahoma pharmacist who did as you suggested and is now serving a life sentence.
