I wouldn't worry about being charged with trespassing if I entered after the incident started. Somebody already mentioned the necessity defense but even without that, the threat of a modest fine would not stop me from doing what I thought was morally right.
On the other hand, if the manager posted the signs, I would not come to their aid. I would respect their decision and let them suffer any consequences of that decision.[/quote]
What if the manager had nothing to do with posting the signs? What if that order came from upper management?

Re: Thinking About Defense of Others
Amen Brother. Well said. I couldn't imagine a man not stepping in front of his wife to protect her. Not sure where the kids were but since the wife mentioned kids, I'm sure those kids were on his mind as well. A true Hero. Maybe they will set up a fund for the now Widow. I hope so and will certainly contribute. And just think, they were just getting rings cleaned. Get up, dressed, to the mall and come back a Widow.Liberty wrote:There were children involved too. Doesn't sound like neither were the Samaritan nor the LTC holder were anything but prudent and heroic.Murphy was standing between her and one of the suspects. Jonathan tried to get in front of her.
"I think he was trying to stand in between to protect me, maybe protect the children. I don't know, I don't know what he was thinking. He didn't say anything and the guy just started shooting him," said Murphy.
I only hope and pray that I will be as decisive and courageous as either one of these two men if I were ever to find myself in this position. Neither than man's wife nor the children were killed or hurt. Any wife worth having is certainly worth sacrificing oneself. We don't know how many lives the LTC holder saved, perhaps many, but that he only made the situation better is pretty certain.
