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.
But, if you had decided to piledrive someone into the path of a car (as part of your defensive activities), couldn't the car driver have swerved to avoid hitting that person, hitting some other pedestrians and/or one or more other cars?
Wouldn't the possible results (unplanned injuries to innocents) have been equivalent to the woman who fired the shots in defense of herself?
Just because you wouldn't have been using a gun doesn't mean bad things wouldn't/couldn't have happened because of your decisions/actions. Should the car driver(s)/other innocents involved taken action to sue you into oblivion?
Hey Sins,
You have been honest to this point. I know you are getting your butt kicked by others here.
Most of these folks have been down “that road.”
You need to understand, black folk DON’T LIKE YOU. There is a “HATE WHITEY” environment out there that you just don’t understand. I have been hammered for 60 years about how “whitee” are the “bad guy”
Wanna see a bigoted racist? Look in the mirror and see that BLACK fu**k calling you out.
