Let's see if I can come up with a caltour analogy....

IF somebody had a baseball bat and was swinging it at your head, if you pull the trigger & kill him, you're at fault for killing him. After all, he had not made impact or done any harm to you. You just shot him for no reason...

How's that??



Your analogy would more apt if you changed "baseball bat" to "yellow plastic whiffle bat."
