If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They had legitimate reason to believe they were in danger. Not assault at all.
Legitimate reason as in "a man is in the range of visibility"?
A man, in a hoodie, that speeds up his step when they try to walk away from him faster, at 2am. Context matters a lot here.
It’s more than just “a man within range of vision”. Obviously we don’t have the full story here, but even in the text, there are specific behaviors that would, arguably, make a reasonable person suspect they were in imminent danger. Depending on the state, that is enough to trigger self-defense definition.
