“A soccer referee was beheaded and his head displayed atop a wooden stake at midfield after a match erupted in violence in Brazil.”

This could be a tough one to adjudicate. Yes, of course, the fans beheaded the referee and staked his head, in midfield no less. I mean, come on already; in midfield?
The concept of justifiable homicide in criminal law stands on the dividing line between an excuse, justification and an exculpation. It differs from other forms of homicide in that, due to certain circumstances, the homicide is justified as preventing greater harm to innocents. A homicide can only be justified if there is sufficient evidence to suggest that it was reasonable to believe that the offending party posed an imminent threat to the life or wellbeing of another.

Our left-wing loonies are fond of reminding us incessantly about the benefits of multiculturalism. So, for example, in Britain it is not unheard of for a couple of hundred people to be trampled to death when a soccer match goes awry. In Brazil, you have your occasional beheading and staking. But in America, nobody gives a shit about soccer. To each his own.
And, of course, it's not just soccer-related. I am reminded of the story where a baseball player popped out to lose the game for the home-team, and a fan subsequently shot him. His plea? "But your honor, man; there were runners on base!"
Then, there's the story of a bridge player who shot his wife for trumping his ace. His plea? "But your honor; we were vulnerable!"
