I guess the worker was just suppose to wait until the customer killed him first.
Yes, I understand self defense. I’m FOR the guy.
Never take a fist to a knife fight
Yes, I’m FOR the guy doing what he had to do. It’s very unfortunate that innocent people have to be put in that situation. Leftist policies are putting more and more into that scenario...kill or be killed.
“Feel-good” story of the day.
I don’t normally think it’s OK to kill someone for beating your ass like most Freepers do but in this case the guy pretty much had it coming
They weren’t squared off the guy attacked him for no good reason
I’ve had to make this decision recently involving a drug attic tamper with a knife I did not kill him mainly because he stopped one my son had his 10 mm on the guy
It’s best not to kill someone unless you have to regardless of the morality you might have about it because it opens up such a canna worms if the killer was a pure white guy it would be a much bigger problem than it already is
BS to hold a man in jail because he was trying to defend himself.
We’ve seen over and over how violent some of these thugs are.
Putting up a barrier would be racist. (Of course.)
As an example, Philadelphia banned them around 2017.
You’re missing one point: the smaller man had no assurance that the bigger man wouldn’t cause severe if not fatal injury. (Do you recall the young man who was beaten to death at a school Lebron James established?) People of small stature commonly abandon any concept of a “fair fight.” Of necessity, they stop the threat expeditiously using any available and effective means. Knife wounds are iffy—you can’t be assured of neutralizing the threat if the attacker uses effective evasive maneuvers. An epinephrine surge can increase the energy applied in response to the attack. What’s unfortunate is that a person who works for a living gets stuck in such a situation.
I confess I’m no expert at killing
I’ve led a truly sheltered existence
But this forum has always endorsed shooting people who beat you up
We’re pretty old here
We like the idea of shooting people with our palmetto arms 5.56
