31. Why don't YOU explain how the two cases are equivalent?
Mr. White was awakened in the middle of the night by his son, who said that there were some people coming to kill him.

  • Mr. White grabbed a gun and went outside.

  • Several young men arrived in two cars.

  • The men were drunk and belligerent, and refused to leave Mr. White's property when he ordered them to do so.

  • One of the young men, refusing to back off, made a grab for Mr. White's gun. This action resulted in the young man getting shot in the face.





Joe Horn witnessed a daylight burglary when he saw two men enter his neighbor's property and called 911.

  • The 911 dispatcher told Horn that the police were on their way, and to stay inside his house.

  • Horn argued with the dispatcher, saying that he wanted to go out and confront the men.

  • Eventually, Horn told the dispatcher that he was going outside to shoot the men.

  • He went outside and shot the men in the back they attempted to flee the scene.




Okay, "Serious Stan", why don't YOU explain for how these two incidents are equivalent, because you clearly want to believe that they are.
