Has anyone ever gotten prosecuted and convicted for defending themselves? I think the police would look the other if you did snuff out these scum when they attack you. Well, you'd probably have to let them break a window before killing them though. And preferably not on video.Cases like this are also why SA needs stand-your-ground and castle doctrine laws. They make it much easier for someone in the situation that this old man was in to claim self defence if he had sent one of the assailants to the great shebeen above, as they allow a person to treat their home, or the car they are occupying as an extension of their body. Which means an attack against the car or home would be justifiable to respond with lethal force.
