He hid behind a wall/shrub and jumped a man with a gun.

You should be teaching your kids not to jump people and try to kill them then they wouldn't have to be concerned about someone using their right to defend themslves.

If a great big person is smashing your head into a sidewalk you don't ask him if he's turned 18 yet and if he has a weapon - beside his fists that he's using to smash your skull into the edge of the sidewalk.

How about the millions of mothers who raised successful productive men - how about a big thank you or ' tell us how you did it'? No....... I am just bizarre.
