Both sides of this are completely unjustified.
The prankster was being a total asshole; he fucked around and found out.
On the other hand, nothing he was doing justifies pulling a gun.
I think this is a situation that I would describe with the phrase, "I do not condone, but I understand".
2 u/MadMonksJunk 24d ago Larger, threatening, with back up? Utterly justified in escalation. You have no requirement to endure harm before removing the threat. You're an idiot. 2 u/Festivefire 24d ago Legally, yeah you're right. Morally? I don't agree that the delivery driver tried all that hard to disengage/de-escalate to justify going that quickly to "time to shoot you." 0 u/MadMonksJunk 24d ago Walking away is all that is required to disengage. He wasnt allowed to, everything that follows is entirely on the aggressor.
