WTF!!:shock:

I would FIGHT BACK for starters, the guy just stood there taking an asswhippin. That situation was no place for a gun, legally or otherwise. I like how everyone stood around watching.

I remember seeing this from a while back. Not fighting back was the guys first mistake. Nobody helping should go to show that you are on your own when it comes to defending your life.

Some might think a gun would be tricky or illegal but i've been on the receiving end of a beating like that once and i'll tell you from experience, that someone THAT big can certainly cause a death from the beating. My opinion, shooting and killing the perp would have been entirely justifiable.

Just a bad incident all the way around and one where I think using a gun may be tricky not just physically but legally. Pepperspray or some sort of impact weapon may have been useful in this situation.

Amazing! The guy does nothing to defend himself... The bigger they are the HARDER they fall, ESPECIALLY how the guy getting hit had A WONDERFUL opportunity to hit the guy in the lower section...;)

I'm sorry but I can't think of any better time to use a gun!!! That monster was huge and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that the guy who got his azz whipped will be scarred physically and mentally for life. Also,t he monster "sucker" punched him which is the absolute worse case scenario because you don't know it's coming. Trust me, I've been on both ends of the situation. Secondly the guy was literally out on his feet and the monster kept beating him senselessly!!! I would have killed that man on the spot because his body langauge would have alerted me of the "sucker" punch that was sure to come.

I can't find anything to cite but we had a case somewhat similar to this in Wa about 10 years ago.

An argument broke out at a nightclub and one of the people, he was the smaller one, left to go sit in his friends car. The larger guy, who was an off duty bouncer for the club, came out a followed after a few minutes. He reached in through the window of the car and pulled the smaller guy out. What he did not notice was that the smaller guy was loading his revolver as he was being drug out of the car. He fired two shots and killed the attacker before he was fully out of the car. It was ruled justifiable by the prosecuter because of the huge size difference of the two people involved.

In this type of situation there is no time to THINK about case law or what may happen in a court of law. From reading many of the colorful posts related to this slaughter I believe the man died. The blows to his head sure make me a believer. God forgive my thoughts but I would have emptied my XD-45 into his chest cavity.
