This thug is not a trained soldier and yet he continues to press the fight even given his injuries. What does this deadly force encounter teach us about self defense?
Active Self Protection makes a good point…

1. The human body is designed to take a ridiculous amount of punishment and still function. You can shoot someone multiple times and they can still pose a deadly threat! Even mortally wounded people can continue to pose a threat for several seconds to even minutes after being shot, so don’t think for a moment that shooting someone will necessarily immediately incapacitate them. That is Hollywood myth.
