Dont know if you'd be justified in shooting him, or rather you'd be convicted of manslaughter or murder.

It would be real hard to not beat the hell of him though.
The only reason I might not is fear of loosing my permit to carry.

I think the best way to deal with this type of @$$#0^* is to avoid them.
If you see people like this harassing passers-by, cross the street or do whatever it takes to not cross paths with them.

Their sole purpose or mission is to cause trouble, don't let them drag you into it.

St Paul is hosting the republican national convention this year and they are expecting ALOT of rowdy protesters. Not that I'd be hanging around there anyway, but I'll be avoiding the area like the plague while its going on.
