re: #274 RogueOne

but is the answer to ask victims to accept getting stabbed?

Please. That’s just silly. No one has said that, and it’s an inaccurate characterization of a “last resort” standard.

I think the “reasonable” standard is the acceptable way to go. It still leaves it up to the victim to make the decision in the heat of the moment but still allows for the prosecution/judges to make the final decision on whether they reasonably thought their lives were in danger.

Read that again. It applies, also, to a standard of “reasonable” attempt to retreat and use force as a last resort.

Why do you accept a judge’s assessment of “reasonable” in one case, but not in another? And I’d say that you are actually making the judge’s assessment more in play in SYG than in a “last resort” assessment - far more discretionary.

This really seems to undermine your basic justification of not trusting the legal system with making assessments.
