Reply #176: So if an old man had hit her with the same results you would be ok with that?

Interesting set of standards...

One of the sticky points in self defense arguments is the single blow. The person defending themselves has the right to use enough force to stop the attack. If they strike back just once, can that be considered excessive force is a question that gets argued more than many realize and it gets stickier if the damage is done not by the blow itself.
- You can shoot an unarmed burglar in your home and will not have a problem in most places.
- If the defender causes the attacker to fall and are then seriously injured, is the defender still responsible for their injuries (case law is split on that one).
- Does eggshell skull theory apply?

I am looking at this at a macro level. The details still seem to be bouncing around depending on the source. The video (if it really exists) will be telling.
