| Nov 27 at 0:36 | comment | added | user16249 | This question is similar to: Can a person purposely provoke someone to hit him and then report a crime?. If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem. | |
| Feb 27, 2021 at 11:38 | comment | added | ZeroPhase | Here's a more precise scenario. Dave assaults Bob first, and a few days later Bob acts in defiance towards Dave, by being highly rude and disrespectful since Dave assaulted him first. Bob does fantasize about killing Dave, and carries a gun in case Dave acts the same way towards Bob again. Also Dave has a bit of an ego, and does not want to lose face. So, he continues acting antagonistically to Dave in a passive aggressive manner. (letting doors close on him, not being polite, seducing his wife, etc) Bob kills Dave the next time he strikes him with his gun. | |

| Jan 26, 2021 at 14:41 | comment | added | gnasher729 | It looks very much like Bob baited Dave with the intent to kill Dave "in self defense". That would probably be murder. There was a recent case where a home owner tricked two young, unarmed burglars into entering his home in order to shoot them "in self defense". Both died, and he was sentenced for double murder. | |
