Brave thinking by the son. Sometimes, in situations like those, I would imagine you 100% trust your instincts and somehow defend yourself if possible. If not, the situation could get worse.
If this accused was mentally disturbed, that is unfortunate and hopefully isn't some sort of cop out.
On a related note, why is it when people are mentally disturbed, they're linked to violence? Why can't a mentally disturbed person commit wanton acts of kindness and peaceful activity?
