the feds are tripping over their feet doing ANYTHING to kill him and hes just existing. it’s the Steam effect, do nothing and your opponents will stumble around making themselves look like idiots
It is justifiable homicide.
“The victim must reasonably believe, under the totality of the circumstances, that the assailant intended to commit a criminal act that would likely result in the death or life-threatening injury of an innocent person.”
The only part in debate would be “criminal act”. I think the former CEO’s conduct rises to that level - murder of a depraved heart, perhaps:
“In United States law, depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is a type of murder where an individual acts with a “depraved indifference” to human life and where such acts result in a death, despite that individual not explicitly intending to kill.”
