Massad Ayoob, a seasoned use-of-force instructor since 1972, explains the critical concept of 'disparity of force' in self-defense. He clarifies that this legal principle applies when an attacker's physical advantages (multiple assailants, size, strength, combat skill) are so overwhelming that they equate to a deadly weapon, justifying the use of lethal force. Ayoob emphasizes the importance of understanding and articulating this concept in legal proceedings, citing case examples to illustrate its application.
