Justified defense is not "escalation".

If you kill a burglar in your house who does not attack you first do you consider that "escalating" the situation?

Apparently we are not watching the same video. At no time do we see the dude in the girls face. He is a good distance from the car door and the female exits (look enough room to open her door) the vehicle once the father starts approaching. 

As to the question posed: I suppose it depends on the situation. We've seen stories in this very forum where a person has lured someone into their house to burgle only to have a reason to shoot them. Not sure what it has to do with the situation at hand.
