I would not feel sorry for him, if you know what I mean!I would draw on him and order him to stop. If he did not I would feel sorry for him if you know what I mean.
You're exactly right, but both components are actually built into the statute (i.e., deadly force must be "necessary," in order to be "justified" - at least according to your "reasonable belief"):Yes, that's the way I understood the question, that it's a foregone conclusion, a presumed fact, that indeed, the "forceable felony" of rape was occurring. Therefore, force, including deadly force, would be justifiable under the circumstances.
The question as posed by OP seems to open up the field to two types of answers. The first answer is "Shoot, because it's justifiable." The second type of answer, and where I come out is "Intervene, and be willing to shoot, if it's necessary to stop the attack."
In other words, I'm willing to use deadly force if (A) justified and (B)necessary. They're not necessarily identical, usually, but not always. It's "B" that is the variable in this hypothetical. At least that's how I see it.
so far 27 people would shoot right away with no verbal warning.
wouldnt they be right next to eachother? you'd better be one damn good shot.
i voted to draw, warn. whatever escalates from there, happens. i would definately feel compelled to intervene

He does, gets his trousers up and starts walking away.
Now what?
If possible,get between him and the exit. That way he can't get passed you without posing a threat! No way I let the guy walk away. Even if it means i go to jail!At this posting, 215 responders have drawn with a command to stop.

No intent to stray away from the original question, I voted the first day and continued to follow the results.
