but if he fired, he would have gone to prison. Perceived has nothing to do with it. SYG, which is the standard in every other country in the world, and duty to retreat which is in the minority of US states, does not change the threat needing to be immediate and reasonable under the reasonable standard. It only removes the requirement to try to retreat, which puts you in greater danger.

Since we are talking castle doctrine, we are talking specifically inside the home. If someone forces their way into an occupied home, they are an immediate threat by any standard.

But since you "can't trust other people", are you are saying that people don't have the right to defend themselves? IOW expecting other people to die or suffer grave bodily injury for something you believe in. That is fundamentally immoral and illiberal. Either that, or you are misinformed about SYG, which is probably the case given the media's incompetence and dishonesty.

The dog could have reacted to anything. My black lab gets defensive to any man with a loud voice or Brooklyn accent regardless of race. Doesn't matter what I do or how I react. He would probably like you. Trump's loud voice and NYC accent, not so much. Some dogs are racist. I worked with a guy who's dog didn't like white people, any white people.
