why would you need to use deadly force to break up a fight between 3 women?
Among.
And isn't that just a wee bit sexist?
Granted, I'm not as strong as a man in my upper body; most women aren't. (Though there are weight machines at the gym I get incredulous looks from guys while using.)
But kicking/stomping someone's head??? That's a good way to do irreperable damage real fast.
And legs are one place where women are often stronger than men. We've got more bone surface in our hips to attach muscles to.
When I was in middle school & my brother was in late high school we leg-wrestled one night. Even with him having the weight & length advantage, I very nearly flipped him. (It was a struggle, but he did flip me.) Since he was having a party, the rest of his guy friends wanted to see how they'd do, & I flipped several of them.

There is no sign of deadly force in the video.
Other than the stomps to the head...

It would just be my luck that if I ever intervened it would be in a McDonalds with a school across the street.
Doesn't matter, unless the McD's is owned by some unit of gov't.
Someone a couple counties south of here got a nice payout from the city after being arrested OCing at a gas station across the street from a school.
It's
private property. The "GF"SZ doesn't apply.
As for the law supposedly making it a felony if near a school, look here:
§ 18.2-282. Pointing, holding, or brandishing firearm...
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to point, hold or brandish any firearm... in such manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another... of being shot or injured.
However,
this section shall not apply to any person engaged in excusable or justifiable self-defense.
Persons violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor or, if the violation occurs upon any public, private or religious
elementary, middle or high school, including buildings and grounds
or upon public property within 1,000 feet of such school property, he shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony.
Has to happen on
public property.
McDonald's is not public property.
It's a place of public accommodation, but unless it's owned by a unit of gov't, it's private property.
