In pa we have laws that shield you from both prosecution and civil lawsuits when using force to defend your life.

Yep, I hear that, but it's never stopped them from trying in the past. This is Philly, city of opportunities.

And there's plenty of scumbag lawyers that'll take the opportunity and twist it up so it's everything but what was reality.

Just saying, there's a fair chance it'll happen.

I think he’ll be good. He got the knife from the attacker, stabbed him in the neck and back, then the attacker got up and tried to ride off on dudes bike. Dude pushed him off the bike and that was the end. If he had stabbed him again when he tried to ride away, he might be in trouble, but I think that last bit will save him legally.
