Does the current law require one to lie still as he is being assaulted or attacked? I don't think so.
Tom Cholmodeley was jailed for shooting armed poachers on his own land. This means you can be jailed for confronting armed rustlers who come to steal your cattle. That is how bad the current law is.
You are sensationalizing the whole thing. If I remember correctly, the same courts exonerated Tom for the first fatal shooting. Meaning that the second conviction must have been evidence based.
