That is a hell of a lot more damning than the case the thread was made for seems to be. However you get there, a struggle with someone on top of you can rationally lead to a bad out come. Two cars next to each other should be a totally different situation. Dunn reports "that men piling out of the car, not high school boys cringing in terror", and there weren't witnesses to confirm that? Were the lawyers involved asleep?

Merely feeling "threatened" is meaningless in and of itself. Some people feel "threatened" by a disapproving frown, that is not grounds to employ lethal force.
