Last I read, lethal force was allowed to save your life or someone else's life

Self defense and defense of others is NOT vigilantism.

[DaveSimmons]

cool! And I can say I agree with their methods.

The main argument against vigilantes, often made ham-handedly on TV and in movies is they all "must" either:
- make mistakes and hurt or kill the wrong people
- go psycho and start killing people for jaywalking

Neither applies here, so yay vigilantes!

Again, this is NOT vigilantism.

Vigilantism is taking the law into your own hands AFTER the fact. (catching a crook after he has committed the crime and dispensing your own "justice.") Stopping a crime in progress to save your own life, or the life of another is SELF DEFENSE.

Does it matter if she's hot?

Good Job Silver Pontiac drivers and passenger!

I'd have to ask the question: what would happen if the shooter was a cop? Most likely if a cop gave a warning and the beting continued, a shooting would result in a temporary suspension of duties and an internal investigation - but the cop would never be prosecuted. Why should anything change if you replace "cop" with citizen?

Of course I'd never advocate citizens to shoot others. But since it is done, I don't think the shooter deserves much punishment.

that's awesome hahaha.

Technically, defending someone else isn't "self-defense" ...

The official term used for that situation up here is "Justified defense of self or other"

The cop is paid to put his life on the line, and thus is expected to use restraint when stopping a crime in progress. The average citizen is not.
