Esrac 11/08/21 4:49:53 PM #27:	TheVipaGTS posted... Why not? Why cant they use the same self defense argument? Its a hostile situation and they see a guy with a gun. They defended themselves. The argument would be that Kyle choosing to out himself in an already hostile situation, with a gun, acting like authority may have caused them to react. The argument can be made. You csnt just throw it out. That is what is being decided here. If Kyle actively choosing to go into that situation is what instigated the resulting situation. Them not thinking hes a murderer is irrelevant to that. They could deem that he did defend himself and thus it wasnt murder but him making the choice to be there is what caused it, still making it his fault. There is a lot to this. When you're chasing and attacking someone who is actively retreating and running to get the police, you are not the one defending yourself. You're engaging in some weird mental gymnastics. <cite>Esrac posted [p:959814778] in People are... [t:79749906]...</cite> <quote>TheVipaGTS posted... </cite> <quote>Why not?
