See all that makes sense. But someone like shifty would in all likelihood end up botching the getaway, get caught by the authorities and have to explain why he fled a situation where he killed someone. A good prosecution could put him in prison for years.13rin wrote:
I wouldn't run from the Law. But know them as it depends on the State you're IN. In Florida the duty to retreat has been removed. The castle doctrine has been extended from your home to include your automobile. Statute specifically prohibits from prosecution if proved you have stood your ground when forcibly challenged. This did lead to unintended consequences a year or two ago, whereas a gang member was able to claim this when members of another gang engaged him in a firefight. A glitch bill was worked to fix this.Macbeth wrote:
Eh in some cities in the U.S. as long as you don't leave behind prints or something you can probably get away with shooting some random person on the street.
Also remember that yes, deadly force can be used to prevent a forcible felony, but for fuck's sake pick your goddamn battle as it will put your life on hold for potentially years and you'll be totally fucked if proved wrong (let alone living with the guilt of killing someone when you shouldn't have).
