now here is the question, i have, if you being attacked or harassed, and a group of people yell they know where you live, is that considered a threat against your life, and your families life, to respond with deadly force?
------------------------------------
No. They are not an immediate threat to your life. The use of deadly force against verbal threats are not - how you say, "smiled upon" in the court of law.

ETA: I re-read the question. If you are being attacked -PHYSICALY -and feel your life is in immediate danger then yes. But then your already past the point of clarifying intent with a verbal threat. Kind of like if someone was choking the crap out of you and you knew your life was in jeapordy and then they say, Im going to kill you. Well, you already knew that was his intent.
