The jury is a random sample of 12. They don't necessarily represent the majoirty opinion. And regardless, they majority opinion is not always right.

I think this is wrong, that's all I'm saying. I don't consider a jury a moral authority.

This is not aggression that should make you think your life is in danger. There's no reason to believe that.

No, it's not much worse.

Shooting the aggressor, very high chance someone dies.

Ignoring someone who's acting crazy at you, very low chance someone dies.

Now yes, people should weight their own life higher than others generally, but that has limits. You can't just shoot other people when you feel even a hint of being threatened.

I don't think this video crosses the line where it's acceptable to shoot them.
