A Florida man exercised his Second Amendment rights on a scumbag who was beating up a helpless female passenger earlier in the week at a gas station.
As NBC 6 South Florida reported, surveillance video caught the moments leading up to an incident at a Pompano Beach gas station that left an individual hospitalized.
The outlet revealed the incident occurred at around 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Orion gas station in the city.
The surveillance footage shows a black man in a white tank top and blue shorts trying to yank the passenger door of a white Toyota open. A female rolls down the window and gets out of the car.
Then a confrontation ensues. The woman decides to jump back into the vehicle, but the man manages to jerk the door open.
When both are out of the car, the male strikes the woman and starts choking her. She eventually gets away from the man, locks the door, and he walks away.
The driver, perhaps the woman’s partner, is pumping gas and appears to look over to see what is happening.
After purchasing a cigar from the gas station store, the black man walks out toward the SUV again. But this time, the driver is armed with a gun and is waiting for him.
After the two exchange words, the white man opens fire on the black attacker. He runs from the bullets but is hit.

Do you think this was a legitimate self-defense shooting?

Per NBC 6 South Florida, Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) officials revealed that the man who was shot was taken to a local hospital. The driver stayed at the scene.
The attacker remains in the hospital.
NBC South Florida reports that BSO officers are investigating the shooting. The identities of the individuals involved have not been released.
Former prosecutor David Weinstein told NBC 6 South Florida that he believes the occupants of the SUV in the beginning would have been allowed to use potentially deadly force to defend themselves.
But he is skeptical whether the driver was justified in doing so just before the shooting, when the thug was walking back toward the car.
“At the time this confrontation initially started, there is no doubt that this person was committing some sort of a forcible crime, a felony, against the occupant of that vehicle,” Weinstein explained to NBC 6 South Florida. “When the intruder passed in front of the vehicle again, there was really no interaction; he didn’t then charge at the people in the car.”
“Did the driver of the vehicle really need to use the amount of force he used at that point in time? That’s the critical question is.”
