The terrible news of the Titanic submarine appearing to be lost at see with passengers aboard raises an interesting legal question--would it be lawful for some of the passengers to kill others so that their limited oxygen supply would last long, increasing the prospects for the killers to survive to rescue? An actual real-world case involving castaways at sea who killed one of their fellow survivors in order to increase their own prospects for survival occurred back in the 1880s, and was brought to trial in British courts at the time. We'll discuss the legal doctrines involved generally, and the 1884 British court decision specifically, in today's show. Join us LIVE at NOON ET! BECOME A LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBER FOR JUST 99¢!

Today's show covers five use-of-force videos with interesting lessons to document. The first three videos are: 1. Use of OC Spray against a knife robbery. 2. Angry homeowner with pistol in hand yells at workers in street. 3. Algerian man attacks French woman & child in home. The next two videos are of defensive gun uses, and both illustrate why it might well be tactically imperative and legally justifiable to fire a great number of rounds into the aggressor as quickly as possible. In both of these instances, merely one or two shots fired by the defender may well have left them vulnerable to being killed, justifying their perceived need to fire many more than a couple shots. YOU WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO DOWNLOAD TODAY's LAW OF SELF DEFENSE MEMBERS-ONLY TRANSCRIPT OF TODAY'S SHOW TO DOCUMENT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TACTICAL & LEGAL REALITY! 4. Armed robber is engaged by restaurant owner 5.

Yesterday, a New York City grand jury indicted Daniel Penny, who had been charged with second-degree (reckless) manslaughter in the choke-hold death of Jordan Neely on a NYC subway on May 1. Penny has claimed that he put Jordan in a restraining choke-hold position because Jordan had been making violent threats to the passengers on the subway car, and Penny was attempting to hold him for police. Penny is white and Neely was black. Also yesterday, Jordan Williams was arrested on a charge of manslaughter for stabbing to death Devictor Ouedraogo, also on a NYC subway car, purportedly in defense of Williams' girlfriend from Ouedraogo's threatening conduct towards her. Williams is black, and I'm unaware of Ouedraogo's race. These breaking news stories provide an opportunity for our Law of Self Defense community to take a deep dive into the legal dangers of defending others, and that's EXACTLY what we'll do in today's show.

Today's show will address the question of whether displaying a gun towards another person for the purpose of changing their behavior is an act of deadly force--meaning, that you must first have been facing a deadly force threat, or your display of the gun would constitute felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. This question was addressed directly by a recent Florida state Supreme Court decision, and I'll be reading through and translating that decision into plain English for our Law of Self Defense community.

This year is the ten-year anniversary of the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who successfully defended himself against a lethal attack by Trayvon Martin---and thus it should come as no surprise that the law side of the racial grievance industrial complex is using the opportunity to foster yet more racial hate and division by propagandizing and outright lying about the facts and law of that case. Yesterday I came across a law review article doing precisely this, concocted by one Professor of Law Martin S. Brodin and shamefully published by Marquette University Law School. So today, we'll do what we do best at Law of Self Defense--filter out the propaganda and lies and show you the truth of use-of-force law and the cases that involve those laws, focusing in today's live stream on debunking this work of hot racist garbage by Professor Brodin.

(Individual responses will also be sent directly to the Platinum Members who submitted questions, in the event they can't catch today's show.)

You might believe that if you keep yourself within the plain English reading of a statute, you'd be safe from criminal liability. In fact, you'd be mistaken in that belief. Statutes don't mean what their plain English reading might suggest they mean. As a result, following the plain English reading of a statute can easily trap you into a lengthy prison sentence. In doing a period update of our state-specific use-of-force law content for our Law of Self Defense Members I was reminded of a perfect illustration of this danger, which is what we'll be sharing with all of you in this live stream.

Today's show will provide legal analysis and commentary on two gasoline-related use-of-force videos that recently came across my desk. In the first video, a prankster pours apparent gasoline (actually water) over the hoods of occupied cars, almost getting himself shot.

A Tennessee homeowner confronts several armed car thieves breaking into his vehicles in his driveway at o-dark-thirty. Suddenly, the thieves began shooting at the homeowner--and the homeowner returns defensive fire. In all, at least 28 rounds were exchanged in the gun fight before the thieves fled.

In today's show we cover the recent successful appeal of a Washington state woman who had overturned her conviction on a charge of first-degree (reckless, unintentional) manslaughter over the stabbing death of abusive boyfriend. The reason for the reversal of the conviction? The woman's trial attorney--and, apparently, the trial court itself--MISTAKENLY believed that self-defense was not a legal defense to the crime of reckless manslaughter. It is true that the legal defense of self-defense operates in a subtly different manner when raised against reckless manslaughter than when raised against an intentional killing, and we'll discuss just how that works. The real take home message, however, is that it is extremely dangerous to presume that even a well-experienced criminal defense attorney is really comprehensively informed on the actual law of self-defense--and if they get it wrong, it's YOU who goes to prison.

In 2018 Officer William Darby, accompanied by two fellow officers, responded to the home of a suicidal Jeffrey Parker, who sat on his couch with a gun to his head. After Parker ignored repeated demands to put down his gun, Darby fired a single shotgun round into Parker, causing mortal injury. Darby would be charged with murder for this shooting. His pre-trial self-defense immunity plea was rejected by the trial judge, and he was convicted of murder at trial and sentenced to 25 years. This past March, however, Darby's conviction was overturned on grounds of improper jury instructions, and he was remanded for a re-trial. Darby sought immunity once again under the corrected legal standard, in front of a new trial judge, and last week immunity was denied again. Join me for an extensive recounting of the facts and law of these immunity hearings, trial, and a thorough reading of the appellate court decision reversing Darby's conviction--INCLUDING BODY CAM VIDEO OF THE USE-OF-FORCE EVENT (the video, however, will be streamed only to Law of Self Defense Members, to remain consistent with YouTube monetization policies).

The gun control propagandists have launched a fresh wave of attacks on both gun ownership and self-defense, and of course the mainstream media is fully on board in driving forward this propaganda war on our civil rights. I've three examples of recent media reporting on the self-defense doctrine of "stand-your-ground." Two of these, from PBS and FOX News, host "experts" (non-lawyer Prof. Robert Spitzer, SUNY Cortland and former Federal prosecutor Duncan Levin) who grossly misrepresent stand-your-ground law--whether that's out of political fecklessness or outright ignorance is hard to tell, the two look very similar in this context. The third example is from a local North Carolina news station, WCNC, and in this case I expect the guest lawyer (Gary Mauney, Mauney LLC) is well-informed on this law, but his communication of that expertise was absolutely mauled by the manner in which the station edited and communicated that knowledge to the audience, likely through no fault of Attorney Mauney's own.

Today's show is prompted by a news report of an Ohio woman just sentenced to two years in prison for having sicced two of her Pitt Bulls on a group of children, resulting in one 6-year-old girl requiring multiple emergency surgeries as a result of bites to her head and body. There are, of course, circumstances in which using a dog as a weapon could be perfectly lawful. How does the law distinguish between the use of a dog as a weapon versus the use of any other defensive tool, such as a gun or pepper spray?

As is common in high-profile, politically- and racially-charged shootings, I'm seeing an enormous amount of bad legal takes on whether the shooting of Ralph Yarl by Andrew Lester could possibly have been lawful. In fact, Missouri law explicitly allows for the use of deadly defensive force under the circumstances in which Lester encountered Yarl, and we'll explore that in today's show. One caveat--Yarl claims that the second time he was shot was while he was on the ground. I've seen no evidence to corroborate that claim, but there may well be forensic evidence decisive on that issue. If Yarl's claim is supported by the evidence, that second shot might be difficult to justify. Any shots fired while Yarl was upright and apparently attempting to unlawfully enter Lester's dwelling, however, were almost certainly lawful under Missouri law. Interested in learning why?
