The article said (suggested) that the person carried 3-5 pound rocks up to the bridge and was dropping them on passing cars. After drawing your weapon if the person didn't stop what would you do? The tough question. Now pretend your wife is driving and coming up to that bridge.treadlightly wrote:Seems like a huge case of "it depends." A lad throwing rocks that can verbally stopped, no justification. An assailant determined to injure or kill, sure, but not as a first option.
For a kid, "Hey, stop that!"
And call the police.
For an adult, maybe draw your weapon before demanding he stop. Or she, didn't mean to be exclusionary.
You have to think on your feet.

Re: Deadly Force Justified?
Yes.
What's the difference between throwing rocks and sniping with a rifle? Deadly force to stop deadly force.
