Excellent question sdmahr.

I was wondering exactly what I would have done myself.

First of all, the victim didn't seem to have any kinds of weapons or training for hand-to-hand fighting. So when in trouble, he followed the Bradys advice and called for help. Didn't work out so good for him.

First thing is to make sure you've got situational awareness. Try not to fix on one threat. There were multiples and one came up behind him and hit him in the head while he wasn't looking.

When things start looking bad, get the defensive spray in hand, and be mentally ready to draw and shoot your gun(s). Make a mental plan.

Fighting with one, they get sprayed. Fighting with a group that size, and with the fact that there were blows to the head... Looks like a deadly force encounter to me. But expect for a DF encounter like this one to go to court. Even so, being judged by 12 is better than carried by 6.

The tough part is not getting fixated on one threat, and mentally keeping pace with a rapid attack. Video shows how easily the victim was overwhelmed.
