Isn’t one option enough? He could have attempted to stand up and fight with the gun on his back. He could have surrendered the gun, given what had just occurred. Maybe the two individuals who reacted would have acted differently. He could have just allowed himself to get hit. I believe someone would have ultimately come to his rescue.
I can already see the hate responses upcoming but the point is there were other options that could have resulted in no one dying (and imo no serious bodily harm). The one with the gun should bear the most responsibility in a chaotic situation such as this one.
1. “Isn’t one option enough”-not when that option has already been shown to be ineffective.
2. So your second option is he attempts to fight at least 3 men, while unarmed? One of which had a pistol and another who’s swinging a skateboard at him. That sounds like a way to die.
3. You believe he should’ve just given his gun to the violent mob attacking him? You consider that a “reasonable option”?
4. I love this your fourth option is “just lay there and take it”.
Despite how absurd all of those suggestions were, it’s your last statement that’s the most insane. You don’t hold any of them accountable and consider them to be victims. But the guy who is actually ring attacked is in the wrong according to you, because he had a gun?
Every option you’ve named is one that could very possibly lead to his death. If you are attacked by a violent mob, you have the right to defend your self. The standard for the use of deadly force is you have to be facing a threat of great bodily harm or death. Obviously that was a serious possibility here and to pretend otherwise and even claim he should’ve given them his gun or just allowed them to beat him and not fact back, is to simply ignore all facts, logic, and reason.
