We may be visualizing the scenario differently, Razor, and I agree that we are doing so with the benefit of hindsight. I am interpreting the accounts as saying that the men were rushing towards him on their way to a car two spots down, you are interpreting it as meaning that they were moving toward him, but not their own car. That's why I'm not calling for the guy to be punished from the safety of my office, I just don't know.
In terms of "lines in the sand", the simple answer is that I will continue to draw such lines and seek to create distance until I have no other choice but to employ deadly force. That includes sprinting in the other direction like my hair is on fire, pride be damned. If all else fails and the situation warrants it, I will shoot and keep shooting until the threat is gone.
