So who peed in your cornflakes...Champ?Actually, "Reasonable fear" is a key element of self defense there champ. No, you cant just shoot someone, But the fact you THINK this has "earmarks" of your bias doesn't mean anything. Speculation doesn't make facts change, Its just unfortunate situation all the way around. The fact that so many(you included) are quick to try and blame the guy whose home was broken into is just mind boggling! Especially when we're seeing a MASSIVE push by the woke to prosecute ANY/ALL self defense situation, Just makes it that much worse. It's as if theirs tons of people who live under rocks, And aren't at all aware of these DA's doing this despite the national coverage of the Rittenhouse trial! Just blown away by some people's mental gymnastics in these comments honestly.
I see you just happened to add the word "reasonable" in your recounting of what I said. No big deal. Just the fact that "reasonable" is the linchpin of what is needed for justifiable use of deadly force and that is specifically why I didn't use it in my post. You trying to muddy the waters actually contributes to the misconception that fear equals justification. Fear is an emotion and has nothing to do with it. If a person has reasonable cause to feel that fear, it's an entirely different story.
