Uh, three against one is a 'disparity of force' issue. That is a scenario justifying the use of 'additional means' (e.g. a firearm, knife, baton, etc.) by the defender (or a 'sheepdog').
That the man attacked didn't jump up to defend himself doesn't mean he didn't want to do so. Some folks just don't have that ability, or the training, or the mindset, to do so.
By some of the INGO responses, one wonders if those responses would be the same if the victim was 'Grandma', which it could have been, just as easily. Would these same respondents also opine, "Well, Grandma didn't jump up to defend herself against 3 thugs pounding on her, why should I get involved?" Or, would they spin 180 degrees, claiming they would then intervene to help 'Grandma'? Why would anyone believe them?
Everyone will act (or refuse to do so) based on their own conscious, or lack thereof, I guess.
But hey, maybe he 'had it coming', eh?
