re: #228 Liberty Hedgehog (fka Freedom Alligator)

You shouldn’t.

You have to. Up until the point of the stabbing the defendant hadn’t done anything illegal. You’re allowed to try to stop a guy from stealing your stuff. The SYG defense comes in after the contact. The defense was he thought the other guy was going to stab him and, since he doesn’t have to retreat, he stabbed him first.
