re: #77 Dark_Falcon

messed that reply up, above.

The SYG ground law does address proportionality, in that it requires a reasonable fear of death or severe bodily harm before deadly force can be used.

What the law says is something about “meet force with force.” What it doesn’t do is specify proportionality - although the bill’s sponsor says that it does.

The type of parameters you describe are entirely subjective. Suppose you’re an out of shape diabetic and the smaller guy is a decathlete?

This is one of the problems with the law.
