Well, apparently the law says he is ok. I was under the impression that the "alter ego" doctrine (AKA "Step into the shoes" doctrine) should rule but it appears I was wrong

I still personally feel as though the alter ego rule should ALWAYS apply, however.

So I should consider and put your "shoes" feelings in priority over mine, even in a situation where your "shoes" are a logically perceived threat to mine?

Sounds like some libtard sh*t. If someone is a realistic potential threat to my or my family's safety, I'll blast the Keds or nikes back to Walmart before I'm even the slightest bit concerned with how they feel.

This makes no sense whatsoever. The "Step into the shoes" doctrine is when you step into the shoes of the person that you are defending. If they don't have a legal right to self defense then you don't have a legal right to defend them. It has absolutely nothing to do with the alleged perpetrator.

My point is that I personally feel that you can't legally defend someone who can't legally defend themselves. This girl couldn't legally use self defense and shoot the kid for the actions as they unfolded, therefore I don't think the father should have legally been allowed to either.

Do you think any charges should be brought for this kid's murder?

Plus, isn't she 16? I don't think you can sue a minor but I could be wrong.

I would assume for CRIMINAL charges you'd have to prove she intended harm which presumably she did not. The boy's death (again AS PRESENTED) falls on her shoulders. I would imagine the civil court is the remedy but perhaps there is a criminal avenue.

Intent isn't necessary for a crime to have been committed. Plus, as I already mentioned, I don't think you can go after a 16 year old in civil court.
