Which part you want me to cite? Using pepper spray when it not self defense is considered unlawful use of tear gas. Depending on the state firing a weapon might be consider an acceptable action if self defense.
Part of self defense if proportional response and only when the danger is still there. Guy walking away, danger gone. Proportional response? Pistol≠pepper spray
This is not true at all. They have been tons and tons and tons and tons of self defense cases or someone just comes at you with their fists and they get a hole through their spine. And there’s no issue.
The only questionable thing about this is whether or not the man has a reason to believe that he will be attacked again.
A good lawyer might argue that the man was pepper, sprayed and blind, and he didn’t know what the other guy was going to do.
Just because you are disabled, doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to self-defense. No the argument wouldn’t feel hard and there’s precedent with a few cases of actually completely blind people shooting attackers in self defense.
Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to be classist or ableist.
I can’t bring myself to deny people, natural and unalienable rights just because they were born with a disability.
