Nonsense. I simply do not believe that anyone would not defend themselves for fear of being arrested or sued. It just doesn't happen and I certainly don't believe potential criminals would weigh the benefits/risks of criminal activity by determining whether they believe a potential mark is going to fear being convicted of anything if the mark defends themself.
Your use of such an argument is purely emotional, having no basis in reality.
And that becomes even more obvious with the remainder of your post. No one is making it "harder to defend yourself", no one is "sticking their head in the sand" - if you are involved in a shooting, even as just a witness to the event, you are going to be required to answer questions regarding the event. You don't get to say "Yeah, I saw that guy shoot the other guy" and then walk away and you ESPECIALLY don't get to say "Yeah, I shot the guy because I thought he was going to hurt someone" and then walk away. To expect the world should operate in that way is unquestionably absurd.
