On the other hand, not knowing if he might still be armed and leaving him lying in the middle of the street while you retreat to the curb to watch him, with zero backup, seems more risky to me. But then I'm blonde. Oh wait! So was she!

pretty simple really... and still from a citizen perspective
if you are not there, he has less opportunity to do anything to you- or you to do anything further to him. if you are not there, his accomplice or other compatriots cannot suddenly appear and engage you out of retaliation or in a effort to secure his escape. if you are not there to fight with his compatriots, you wont likely have the occasion to begin a new firefight, perhaps miss a target and harm a bystander. if you are not there rolling him around, restraining him or standing on him.. it would be difficult for him to claim that your continued use of force compounded, made more severe or caused him additional, unnecessary or unjustified injury /suffering. If you are not there taking further actions, you would likely have far less to justify and less opportunity given to others to scrutinize your actions or find fault. Less is sometimes more

I think she did just fine. It helped that she had a few seconds warning. Did y'all notice at the start of the video the woman in the gray dress walking from the left of the screen?
Notice that she points back towards the direction from which the robber comes from and say something to the women. That warning gives our heroine time to position herself and access her pistol in time stop the punk. |

The gun can be pointed at his head from varing distances IMHO. Please explain to me what tactical advantage was gained by being in physical contact with the attacker.

He died hours later in a hospital. The wounds were fatal but clearly death was not instantaneous. He was moving and conscious during the entire video. At one point your we’re arguing he’s threat so she should have her foot on him now he is almost dead so he isn’t a threat. Which is it?
Again I am not saving she didn’t take care of business and save the day but that does not mean she did not make mistakes that we can learn from.

If you want to continue to debate this point that is fine but you will not change my mind. She did everything perfect! IMHO

I am going to end my comments today on this note:
In retrospect I am quite certain that one could look for and find something to criticize and find fault with in almost any situation, regardless of what it is. I have enjoyed reading your opinions and theories even though I have not agreed in many instances. While this does not change my opinion that our heroine acted appropriately and responsibly, I still do find it interesting how you feel things should have been better handled. I enjoyed the debate. Thank you. Peace.... ~ Jazz
