No, you are missing the point. The bill states that me, as a 3rd party, can come to the defense of someone that I see in serious trouble. What that means is that if you start beating someone down like this, you could have some of the crowd members pulling guns on you with the intent to shoot. We will have the ability (if the bill is signed) to protect citizens as well. Keep that in mind...

Let's say that you hit someone from behind (sucker punch), they fall to the ground, and then you start kicking them in the head. If I witness this (the person is walking way and you are the aggressor that is chasing him down and sucker punching him), I will act accordingly to defend the safety/life of this person that I don't even know. Don't be surprised if a bullet rips through your chest as you are beating this guy into a coma. It will be situation dependent (ie, if he hits you first, then you are in your right to defend yourself) of course. If someone attacks someone from behind as they are walking way (they are no longer a threat), then that person is the aggressor in the situation and is subject to this law.
