The judge made a bad argument.
The guy didn’t pull the machete and retreat.
Instead he stood ground and threatened them.
She should have criticized him for his over the top behavior rather than duty to retreat.
Now, in addition to the right to bear arms for personal, private, and political ends, we need to constitutionally mandated
‘stand your ground’,
‘castle doctrine’,
as well as:
‘initiation of defense’
‘necessity defense’
‘justifiable homicide’,
and to expand:
‘defense of others’, and
‘defense of property’,
into responsibilities rather than rights.
The problematic law is ‘duty to retreat’ which is we need to expressly prohibit.
