In a situation like that, one should memorize an 11-word script: “I was in fear for my life so I defended myself.”
If an armed perpetrator was running away from me and toward my daughter's bedroom, I would empty my gun into his back as fast as I could. If he was still standing, I would reload and shoot some more.
Just because a person shows you his back does not mean that he is surrendering, that he has given up attacking you, or that he is no longer a danger to you.
Aw jeez, you are right!
I would never shoot anyone in the back, especially if they were carrying my stuff! The 10mm tends to overpenetrate.
That is a whole different scenario, my FRiend.
And a 10mm is deadly, in a bad way.
Just think to yourself that he wasn't "fleeing"....just on the way to the next intended victim.
Not to pick nits but that comment alone sounds like a guilty person.
I used to think the same thing until I watched this video of a law professor and a police officer teaching a class that pleading the Fifth is nothing to be ashamed of. He gives examples of how innocent people can and do get themselves in trouble.
Thank God for the Fifth Amendment.
