Incapacitating someone midst stopping a crime is legal. Going far enough during your attempt to stop the crime happens, sometimes still-

is jail time enforceable. But the fact that after he stopped he made sure to care for his child and then tend to the guy he was afraid he-
LupusLilium
killed. Because that's how it is. A person shouldn't step into that situation with the mind to kill. Because that's illegal.
