Its going to have the opposite effect. Its going to show the common person that there is no way to survive. The prosecution literally told the jury that if threatened you have to submit and let the bad guy kill you or else. They told people that if you try and defend yourself, you WILL be punished 1000000 times more harshly than the guy who attacked you (since the attacker is walking free.)
What they are doing is forcing the public to see the State is the #1 enemy to their own survival. They are causing the public to realize there is NO possible way they can ever be safe, and the state is their primary threat.
The same State that will NOT prosecute unapologetic criminals, and is releasing all the violent offenders from prison, then promising to jail you for life if you don't just give up and meekly die.
So in the end the state is going "citizen, you are going to die."
This is not going to demoralize. Its going to focus everybody on who the real threat in their lives are.
If this goes to convict....lets just say you don't want to be cop. Because while criminals have always killed cops, they are nothing to compared to Joe Citizen. Criminals are lazy, reactive, have no plan, and limp wristed. Joe Citizen is proactive, hard working, determined, capable of considerable forethought, and highly functional.
Remember the forces of a government are NOTHING compared to the violent power of the actual common man pushed into a no-win situation. Police in the USA are outnumbered actually about...300 to 1. They get by because less than 1% of the population are generally violent criminals. What do they do when 70% of the population are pushed so far into the corner its either the cop dies, or they die?
As a final note here, is a THEORETICAL discussion about what might happen in hypothetical context. I advocate nothing and legally cannot advocate any action but writing your elected officials to see this issue addressed. I am legally obligated under threat of arrest to remind you that nobody should ever consider any kind of violence.
