[QUOTE="Sam Shoun, post: 1928128, member: 15489"] Not identical scenarios, right. But I think I would feel differently about casualties resulting from my involvement as opposed to my lack of involvement. The larger point is that confronting the robber, whether verbally or physically, could cost lives instead of save them. I'm not saying it should or shouldn't be done. I am saying these factors should weigh heavily enough in the decision as to preclude saying "I'd do it this way...". I maybe shouldn't have targeted my response specifically at your post. It just reminded me of that article is all. I also meant to comment on the force continuum question. I believe it is relevant to civilian self-defense. What if an assailant is obviously confused and suffering mental deficiency of some sort? Or a drunken father in view of his children? Lethal force may be justified, but not desirable. It's good to have options. [/QUOTE]
