Security guard jailed over murder of pepper spray man.

Not sure how you defend yourself after this photo.
Easily, and just as if someone had try to disable you in another way. For a Jury, the defendant will have to convince them if had reasonable fear for his life that if disabled he might be on the end of deadly force himself.

The car in front of the RV, got out of her car and opened trunk and then proceeded to bash out the drivers side windows of the RV. The driver videoed it, but took no action.
my concern, is the woman with the bat was a clear threat of safety and security of the RV driver. If he had simply drove forward and pushed her car out of the way, i am sure it would be a no brainier in regards to law enforcement. But also , the threat was real and the driver was in danger. would actions by him be justified, if he had put a few rounds into her to stop the threat to his safety or life. you know , a few through her arms or wrists to stop the threat?? This is the 2nd such video of similar incidents , where a large RV was stopped on a highway and hoodlums climbed up on top and were dancing and jumping on the roof, and prying open open baggage doors. the driver IMO should have simply floored the throttle and then apply brakes in a rapid fashion to remove such hoodlums from top of the RV, maybe some would have been run over or suffer injuries from falling 12 feet to the hard concrete.
I drive a large RV and both of these incidents, bother me and give me concern on how to counter the bad folks while protecting my family. portable speed bumps disguised as humans, blocking roadways, willfully choose to endanger their own lives and as such if get run over. I want to be protected as much as possible in the eyes of the law.
A 6000+ lbs. vehicle is a better weapon than a rifle in those situations. Using it as a deadly weapon isn't different than using a handgun in the final analysis. You'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Another thing to remember, is, in large groups, if they don't scatter once shooting starts, you're going to lose as long as they keep coming. You will take some with you, but you're going down.

Re: Protests - the next level?

He lives less than 15 miles away, which happens to be in another state. Clean shoots... all 3 clearly self-defense.

Truck driver on what looks like an interstate is arrested after attempting to drive through a crowd, stopping, and then being pulled out of the truck.
....it wasn't immediately known why the truck was on the road.
Very confused... A truck was on the highway... while hundreds of people were illegally blocking the highway...truck driver is stopped, pulled out of his truck beaten... and then arrested... and it is the truck driver's fault?
You cannot hit pedestrians. It's occurred time and time again. You cannot hit protestors... sadly even sometimes, when they're attacking your vehicle.

They used tear gas in Ft. Worth last night.
