Question to you:

Why in Hell would you WAIT until they attacked? When I’m surrounded, I already know what their INTENT is.

PreEMPTIVE strikes are the most successful.

Again I say, you are an ABSTRACT thinker. You need to experience the real.

Taste that copper penny, then talk to me. Until then, you are only a guy who creates scenarios in his mind, and beats down straw men.

I have been beaten down for real. I have feared for my life for real. I have been beaten until I didn’t know what day it was.

And I was the “good guy.”

Have a nice night, you and I live in different worlds.

They didn’t surround me, as I recall they approached me from the opposite direction with two of them diagonal to each other, one slightly behind the other, the third was about eight feet behind the second. They didn’t even get closer than about 5 feet, the ‘leader’ asked me for a lighter from about 15 feet, and thats when I changed my body language and demeanor, after which they kept their distance. They never did anything explicit enough to justify a pre-emptive attack, so I didn’t. If they had tried to surround me, it would have been a different matter.
I freely admit that my instincts are not honed like a person experienced in real violence, but again, I have come close enough to it to know that my judgement was affected and that I wouldn’t make the same decisions I would whilst sitting in my comfy chair. I certainly wouldn’t decide to piledrive someone into the path of a car in normal conditions, but I know that that is exactly what I was thinking in that moment, I was becoming very tunnel-visioned at that point.
