Adv. Y. Katz: And does it sound reasonable to you that every time someone curses you, you pull out a weapon and shoot in the air? Is that why they gave you a license for weapons?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : It wasn't just curses on the road.
Adv. Y. Katz: What's the difference, that it was in Arabic?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : The time we were in, the area we were in, the aggressiveness, the aggression and the look in his eyes.
Adv. Y. Katz: So every time someone in Arabic curses you, you'll feel free to pull out your gun and shoot.
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : Not at all.
Adv. Y. Katz: What's the difference? Someone is cursing you aggressively in Arabic, it connected you to terror attacks, so no problem, we'll pull out the weapon and shoot it in the air an inch from his head, does that sound reasonable to you? I really ask you, does that sound reasonable to you?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : At that moment, that's how I decided to run this event.
Adv. Y. Katz: Reasonable is not, you will agree with me that reasonable is not.
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : It was very reasonable for the period, for the area, for his behavior, for me this whole incident required pulling out a weapon and deterring the person.
Adv. Y. Katz: And you would do the same today.
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : Today I would have conducted myself differently.
Adv. Y. Katz: Why?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : Because if I knew that it was just a crazy person who wanted to fight on the road, I would just give gas and drive.
The Honorable Judge I. Hellman : But what made you think it wasn't just a crazy guy who wanted to fight on the road?
The defendant, Mr. D. Mukin : I've said it a few times now, the period, all the terrorists, there were daily shootings, I got a license because of the period we were in, I got a license for a weapon, I said I'll put it on me in case I come across something that I can give a first aid and I'm also just a few meters from Jenin, I can't know what's in the car, I don't know what the mental and psychological state is, he's just crazy who decided to attack me in the middle of the road. .... It's an access road that is only for the residents of Gan Ner, there's no one else there, it's just another 400 meters, it's the gate of Gan Ner, there's no one there besides that, so in those seconds from the beginning of the incident, I immediately got scared and I had to defend myself and pull out and deter this person."
