Let us assume that to be true.
If next week the same thing that befell Wilson
happened to a racist trigger happy thug
and then, on another occasion, it happened again to an
anti-racist,
in both instances the victim of the impending brutality will have the same,
EQUAL RIGHT of self defense.
No man 's right to self defense is affected by whether he is a racist or he is an
anti-racist or he is neutral qua race.
EVERYONE, like Wilson, has the absolute right to defend himself. Do u dispute that, Izzy ?

Presumably, Wilson armed
himself,
unless that automatic was government property.
If Wilson had been un-armed, then he 'd have been pounded to death,
in the
DISCRETION the great evil that was stomping toward him;
i.e., brown woud have had him for his toy, the same as the cigar store owner.
I invite your comment on this:
from your posts, I take the inference
that extant English philosophy is that
given a choice between a clergyman intoning extollations of noble bravery at funeral
to the widow n children, mom & dad, of a fallen un-armed English policeman,
who was pounded to death by a great behemoth,
or
the policeman killing the threat in time to save his life,
the FIRST possibility is more
desirable and perhaps the second possibility is dishonorable ?
