And they should also be stomped on, repeatedly.

Years ago at my old job the police roughed up the perp that broke in a bit, couldn't believe it almost. He apparently tripped down the stairs a few times, perfectly acceptable explanation for his injuries. It should happen more often.

I liked the knife fight in Australia better. Would have love to see the face of this attacker if his throat had been cut like in that video.

Has anyone ever gotten prosecuted and convicted for defending themselves? I think the police would look the other if you did snuff out these scum when they attack you. Well, you'd probably have to let them break a window before killing them though. And preferably not on video.

You've obviously never been in danger of your life? Kill or be killed.

For the average joe out there a decent self defence course that offers practical advice and focuses on situational awareness would be far more beneficial than anything else.

When I described how my situational awareness developed in SA used to startle anyone in Europe that was walking behind me at the same speed as me (The clear possibility of a mugging from behind), when I would stop suddenly and turn to face the person, the usual here cackled like the hyenas in the video.

Lol I didn't say shoot at them, you can scare someone just holding a gun and pointing at them, or a warning shot maybe. I think you can even shoot them if they are using deadly force? You can't replicate the same with your fist. Hence I steer clear of helping anyone. If it befalls me, then it befalls me.

Where does the warning shot go? Into the baby's pram across the road? That's why warning shots are illegal. If you draw your weapon, it's not to scare anyone, it's to kill them. Waiting to scare gets his buddy to draw his weapon and now you get shot and your weapon stolen.

I get it. Don't intervene in whatever manner.

No one's, cully. I was just pointing out the irony of a person trying to hard to steer the conversation toward race when no one else is bothered.

It's like this,
No one:
Absolutely no one:

Phylax: But this and that race...
Like I said, just pointing out facts and if that makes you uncomfortable, you can click on my name below the profile pic and select "ignore".

Look on the bright side, people generally call you on your nonsense because they still believe there's hope for you, the moment people ignore you means you have transcended to the other side.

Only problem with a gun is you can only use it once then the State confiscates it.
