Actually, you can, and it's justified if you're being threatened.

 

Shoving someone to the ground is assault.

 

You don't get to assault people, and make them fear for their safety.  If you do, you risk being shot for engaging in dangerous anti-social behavior.

 

People are not obligated to take whatever sort of beating you feel is justified by street justice, and can defend themselves with lethal force.

 

The moral of the story is don't !@#$ing assault people.

What if it’s several unarmed men? What if you’re 90 years old and a 30 year old violent felon shoves you?

 

Just trying to gauge the ALF rules of self-defense here.

STANDING UP FOR CIVIL RIGHTS: Louisiana Attorney General Denies $600 Million to Citibank, Bank of America Over Gun Control. 

 

“Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and the state’s Bond Commission denied $600 million to Citibank and Bank of America over the gun control stance adopted by both companies. Citibank and Bank of America were both to be part of a road financing plan in the state, but were omitted from the financial plan after arbitrarily placing new gun controls on banking customers. Louisiana Executive Division press secretary Ruth Wisher told Breitbart News that Landry and State Treasurer John Schroder have been working on the state’s response to corporate gun control ‘for some time.’ Omitting them from the $600 million is part of that response.”

Change the word "threatened" to "warned" in the second sentence you bolded, and voila you have the defense at trial.  And I didn't even read the article.

 

Edit:. I read the article and what I wrote above is incorrect.    It's just a bad headline.

Chicago police chief blames city violence on lenient judges and prosecutors

 

The superintendent of Chicago's beleaguered police department shifted the blame for the city's gun violence epidemic from the cops to the courts, blaming judges and prosecutors who refuse to jail repeat offenders arrested with illegal firearms.

 

Supt. Eddie Johnson, speaking on Monday at Chicago Police Headquarters, said his department can “only do so much," but noted “it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why shootings continue to be a problem in Chicago.”

 

“These shootings are not random,” Johnson said. “They’re fueled by gang conflicts. We know who they are.

He added: “If people don’t give us the information we need, and our judicial partners don’t hold them accountable, would you stop if that’s what you wanted to do? You know, it’s ridiculous.”

 ACLU Sticks Up for the NRA? The civil rights group and the gun rights group don’t always get along. But today the ACLU stuck up for the NRA against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. 

 

“In a brief filed in federal court today, the ACLU argues that New York’s strong-arm efforts to compel banks and insurance companies to ditch the NRA as a customer represent a glaring violation of the First Amendment.”

Statistically speaking though YTD you only have about a 15% chance of being killed if shot in Chicago.  The shooters aren't very accurate, so the risk of death is fairly low.
