So in reality, a healthy male is still faced with navigating the deadly force triangle and articulating the threat of SBI, all within the close confines of his home under the possible circumstances of surprise, darkness and violence.
THIS
I can't believe the law places so damn much responsibility on the true victim...to be half awake, yet faced with the sudden surprise of the very real possibility that these are your last moments on earth, let alone freaking out for the lives of your wife and kids, in the darkness, unsure of WHAT the total threat is (impossible to know unless you have x-ray vision and are a clairvoyant mind reader), yet not wanting to hesitate at the possible expense of you and your family's lives, as you weren't the one to invite the situation...yet it's YOU who has to attempt to navigate all those crazy laws while simultaneously dealing with the unknown threat.
I would propose that it's not even humanly possible.
I truly wish that every lawmaker that creates these kinds of conditions ends up startled awake in the middle of the night to the sounds of unknown numbers of people rummaging through their house with the final intent of God knows what.
Seriously, methinks a change in mentality can only take place if the cold hard reality of violence smacks the people of Hawaii upside the fucking head in the form of widespread calamity. People really are stupid.
Imagine an icehead unlucky and/or dumb enough to break into Hale Moke.......WTF kinda articulation could Moke possibly come up with to immediately go to lethal force!?!?!?!?
The fucking prosecutor is gonna say to the jury......."LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY. Look at this Adonis muthafuka and his hair! He is a veritable GOD among men, skilled in the arts of death with his bare hands. Surely he could have utilized a lesser degree of force and had no true fear that a lesser level of force would expose him to substantial danger of serious bodily danger from poor, crackhead muthafuka, midget Mr Fnunderful"

lol, I could try to use the old, "I woke to unfamiliar and menacing noises, but because of how I was sleeping, both my arms were completely asleep. Your good and gracious honor, I could not risk the lives of my family by engaging these presumably iced out angel dusted maniacal intruders with my bare hands while my arms were asleep. Normally I would have, your most high holiness, because I know that cracked-out angel dust abusing zombies are valuable and sensitive human beings too, worthy of our consideration and respect.
However, given that both my arms were paralyzed and I could not lift them past my waist, I was presented with a most difficult and tragic dilemma...I did not wish to hurt these unfortunate meth addicted victims, but I had my family to consider.
Therefore I used what little movement I had in my hands to grasp my handgun, and with just enough movement in my wrist, was able to get off 10 rounds into the two unfortunate ex-ketamine angel dust consuming victims of society...shooting from hip level...of course...your most gracious and honorable honor...btw, how's the wife and kids, have you lost weight?"
