Provide any information that will help a man from a poor family in Lake Co., IN. murdered "in self defense"

A poor young man ATTEMPTED to steal a radio from the SHOOTER'S (mother's) vehicle, but does not succeed because the shooter catches the poor young man in the act. The shooter now becomes a vigilante, firing FIVE shots, ALL to the BACK of the young man. The vigilante now becomes the poor young man's judge, jury and executioner, A MURDERER!! Two wrongs do not make a right!! FIVE shots to the BACK of an UNARMED young man do not either, nor do they justify "self defense." Yes, the poor young man should NOT have TRIED to commit a crime...but a radio is NOT worth a human life. Please help us gather as much information as possible, in order to DETER VIGILANCE...AND NOT LET A COLD BLOODED MURDERER TRY AND CLAIM SELF DEFENSE!! FIVE GUN SHOTS TO THE BACK OF ANYONE, UNARMED, RUNNING AWAY IS MURDER!! We thank you in advance for your prayers, help, answers and support. HELP US, PLEASE.

Ok somehow I would find it hard for the police to call that self defense. The robber was shot in the back, a, multiple time no less, b, and I am guessing posed no real threat to the other person (the shooter). The problem with the situation is that the term self defense is a little blurry and I am not sure exactly sure how it is set up where you are at. Mainly A person may use force against another person if he reasonably believes that such force is immediately necessary for the purpose of protecting himself against the use of unlawful force by such other person as well as some measure of protecting privet property. Mainly though When a person is in imminent danger of bodily harm, the person has the right to use force or even deadly force when necessary to protect themselves. The case you are talking about really doesn't seem to fit into that mold though and the victims family will probably have good grounds for a civil suite against the shooter and the shooter may end up pulling person time for a 2nd degree murder charge. This is coming from someone that owns several firearms and has a permit to conceal. I just don't feel as if the ends justify the means, however I am just hearing one side of the story and well either side can be biased but I guess we will never know what the robbers side of the story is. Like the saying goes Dead men tell no tales.

Unarmed Self Defense

Minimum amount of martial arts traing to improve self defense ability?

How many days/weeks/months/years of martial arts training do you need to do to be significantly better in unarmed combat?
To put it another way, if I were to clone myself today, and have my clone just do all my normal activitites, while I go away and train in kung fu (or whatever), at what point would I be able to come back and easily beat my clone in a fight?

The key to your question is "easily beat my clone". Absolutely NO fight is easy....ever. No matter what amount of training you have there is still the off chance of a lucky punch, or a missed block..."Bobbing when you should have weaved" sort of thing. However, your real question is how long it takes you to get good, or good enough. As an instructor, I can tell you that in about 2-3 MONTHS (going to class 3 times a week for at least an hour), you should know and remember basic blocking, punching, and kicking techniques. Your timing will improve, your fitness level will improve, and your self confidence will improve because you will be able to see all the improvements. You are not Bruce Lee, but you have a LITTLE knowledge of BASIC techniques that your clone would not. That's a pretty serious edge in just 2-3 months.
However, to "easily beat my clone" it would take at least a year before those techniques you learn become second nature enough that they begin flowing without much thought. Somewhere between that 3 month period and being a year into training, you will have learned more advanced techniques, combinations, and you should have experience in a sparring ring, meaning you now have experience as well as techniques. At this point, your clone is in serious trouble. Given another year of training, most advanced techniques will be flowing easily, your experience in fighting is way more, and you should be much quicker with techniques than an "average Joe". AT this point, your clone is toast. A third year into training, and you should be at or NEAR Black Belt level in many styles. You should be very knowledgable about techniques and how to use them effectively singly and in combinations, your speed is MUCH greater than when you started and your focus is enough that you are striking small holes in an opponent's guard. Your movements are more fliud and relaxed, making you faster and more mobile. Your strength has risen due to better muscle tone, and you your techniques are more refined and produce more powerful results. However, you have also learned the philosophy behind martial arts and that fighting is not necessary to prove yourself...your clone and you go out and have a beer while discussing why HE needs Martial Arts training!
Hope this helps...
