I do not necessarily disagree with most of what you said. However, …just FYI…in some states forced entry or the “attempted” force entry into an occupied vehicle does justify the use of deadly force without regard to intent, without regard to real or perceived threat of life or serious bodily injury, and no requirement to retreat. I think I would just flee if someone threw a rock at my car but I’m sure someone could argue the dude with the rock was attempting to force entry into the vehicle. Hitting the body panel is just bad aim (assuming that is where it hit). The dude with the rock forced the lambo to stop, the dude was acting in an irrational manner, and then threw the rock in a coup de grâce. The lambo driver could easily argue he thought the rock guy was trying to car jack him. Just sayin.
