Initially the name was written as “Tom Human” (sans serif). As the alien could feel the humans staring more intently at him, he carefully connects the top of the “u” almost resembling an “o” and flashes his best approximation of the human gesture known as “smile”. The clerk rolls his eyes, stamps the paperwork, and lazily gestures for the man to proceed. The clerk opens a new tab in his browser and types “Is Men In Black based on a true story.”
So Indiana is a “stand your ground” state. That generally removes any duty to retreat. I’d be curious how they rule when he clearly retreated to his vehicle already, and only then retrieved a weapon, brandished it, and reentered a crowd. If they allow self defense, how far is someone allowed to retreat in order to retrieve a weapon and re-engage? Can I go all the way back to my house and get a gun to defend myself?
Of course this will only be litigated if the public can pressure the prosecutor to press charges. If not it’ll be easy for the cops to disproportionately apply that defense to like minded miscreants.
