PHILADELPHIA: Man with concealed carry permit shoots 3 teens on SEPTA bus

PA stand your ground law states the attacker must display a weapon in public right, what if it was multiple attackers pummeling you to a bloody pulp without weapons.

Where does it say that?

I believe this has been discussed in depth.
The attacker must display a deadly weapon. With "deadly weapon" being open to opinion.
And PA does NOT have a disparity-of-force law/clause.

I'm pretty sure the requirement is "Anywhere you're lawfully permitted to be, in fear of bodily harm or death of yourself or someone nearby"

To claim stand your ground while in public in PA. The attacker must display a deadly weapon.

To claim stand your ground while in public in PA. The attacker must display a deadly weapon.

Or "any other weapon readily or apparently capable of lethal use." Could be a pocket knife or baseball bat or even brass knuckles, IMO.

That being said, if he was trapped on a bus and had no way of safely escaping, SYG is not needed to defend oneself with lethal force.

(2.3) An actor who is not engaged in a criminal activity, who is not in illegal possession of a firearm and who is attacked in any place where the actor would have a duty to retreat under paragraph (2)(ii) has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his ground and use force, including deadly force, if:

(i) the actor has a right to be in the place where he was attacked;

(ii) the actor believes it is immediately necessary to do so to protect himself against death, serious bodily injury, kidnapping or sexual intercourse by force or threat; and

(iii) the person against whom the force is used displays or otherwise uses:

(A) a firearm or replica of a firearm as defined in 42 Pa.C.S. § 9712 (relating to sentences for offenses committed with firearms); or

(B) any other weapon readily or apparently capable of lethal use.

(2.4) The exception to the duty to retreat set forth under paragraph (2.3) does not apply if the person against whom the force is used is a peace officer acting in the performance of his official duties and the actor using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a peace officer.

He had no place to run he was cornered he had no other option as three people approaching with what he believed was the intent to severely injure hurt or otherwise kill him is grounds enough to claim self defense let alone stand your ground. That being said I'd wait till the verdict is in and there is more to the story.

I think that a sterilization of some sort would be the cheapest route.
