Gassing it to slam the marauder with the open rear door of the car was justified (and creative). He had a gun and was in the commission of an armed robbery.

Running him down was just, but will it be justifiable in court? He wasn't a direct threat at that point. Was that like shooting a fleeing robber in the back?

I'm not saying it is good to let someone like that live to rob and maybe murder another day. Being honest with myself, maybe that's what I would have done if I'd been lucky enough to swat him away with the open door.

It's possible the driver thought the BG, was going after the friend who fled. They may not have seen which way she ran. I know that's how I would testify.
