A group of Long Island yoots recently embarked on a minor mugging spree using a taser to intimidate their victims. I’ve never been tased, bro, but can’t imagine it’s a pleasant experience. Unlike ratings-whoring TV reporters during sweeps month, I’m not about to volunteer for electrical stimulation. But this raised a question in my fevered brain. Is being held at taser-point a sufficient threat to respond with deadly force (and not go to jail for many years)? My guess is the standard varies by state. And possibly by local jurisdiction. In the immortal words of master thespian Keanu Reeves, if you’re held at taser-point, what do you do? What do you do?
