Again pretty weak stuff to base a defense on especially when you're armed and your victim isn't. And you're the one following and accosting your victim without authority or cause of any kind. And you're the one who was advised by the police not to follow your victim. And you're the one that ignored that advise. And you're the one who has completed a course on neighborhood watch that instructs you not to patrol armed or initiate contact but to watch and report only.
