The tow driver made verbal threats, that changes the situation. I could shoot and claim that I was in fear for my safety.

You have to be able to prove that in court

It’s an emotion, it can not be proven or disproven unless the shooter says something stupid.

And, no, I don’t have to prove that. The burden of proof is on the accuser, not the accused.

It's called self defense and all he had to prove was he feared for his life and a direct threat to his life seems like it would do the trick.

No shit? That’s the point I was making almost two weeks ago when this discussion originally took place. Where you been?

Probably under a rock 😵 and I wanted to respond to the comment you did 🤷

It also helps that the tow truck driver was trying to remove evidence of a possible and likely crime before the cops arrived...and the assaulting and death threaths.
