Welcome to today’s Law of Self Defense content, which in a departure from our normal practice is open-access rather than restricted to our Members. The reason for this exception is the news from New York City of a vicious attack upon a stopped vehicle containing a 74-year-old woman and her 50-ish son by a mob of violent aggressors who slammed the vehicle with bicycles and smashed the front windshield with a jumping leap from the hood of the car.
Indeed, so vicious was the attack that the NY Post reports a NYPD police officer described it as “animalistic”: Group of NYC bicyclists attack BMW in broad daylight, wild video shows
At that point, in a desperate effort to secure their safety, and with the 74-year-old woman openly weeping and in fear for her life, the vehicle drove through the attackers. Those attackers briefly pursued the vehicle, then fled, remain unidentified, and are unlikely to ever be held accountable.
Could you just imagine the fear these victims had while the people attacked them?
Attorney Branca believes the victims had the right to use lethal force.
He details why in his legal analysis.
