Summary: 

Self defense is self defense: it can be applied only where there is an
actual threat on one's life, not merely in response to perceived
intentions. Numerous psychotics have killed others who they mistakingly
believed to be causing them harm. It can only be a matter of speculation
what Mr. Goetz would have done had the four youths approached him
to ask directions.
