you consult footage

A threat or attempt to inflict offensive physical contact or bodily harm on a person (as by lifting a fist in a threatening manner) that puts the person in immediate danger of or in apprehension

Here you go

you look into evidence from the perpetrator

God these “legal experts” that the Dems have brought up to question during this whole impeachment thing are just such raging partisans fucking hell lol

None of that outlines a state of mind. It’s just a “preponderance of circumstance”

Nasty, nasty, nasty

i think someone killing another in self defence should always be given the benefit of the doubt

if not outright sympathy

you cant magically know someones mind

so you glean intent by investigating the scene

lol

@ubermensch was it ever gonna be any other way?

re you trying to excuse criminals?

I don't really think you would find anyone who considers brushing against other person an assault <:GWjiangoOmegaLUL:389904150886088723>

Stop trying this hard

if someone tries to tackle you thats definitely assault

brushing against someone by happenstance may not be assault

but it could also be thievery

or molestation

BUT ROO. The escalation curve is infinite. That means I can start from anything nonzero and go to gunfire instantly

hich deserve some kind of response

once it reaches the point of being considered assault yes

you only have a certain amount of time to react to any threat

@Ares nah but it’s just so blatantly obnoxious lol

if you dont want to die you should pursue what gives you the greatest chance of survival

termination of the threat

if police actually did their jobs this wouldnt be a problem

but they dont

Did someone hurt you? :c

no

Carsen is the kind of person who'd relax when surrounded by somalians

i do like the idea of vigilante justice tho

killing should be a last resort

and judge dredds

Even if you can legally get away with killing doesn't mean you should do it if someone punches you

it depends entirely on how threatened you feel i suppose

people can kill you in a single punch

I mean, if someone punches you and continues:?

do you trust the person punching you to not kill you?

if not why should you spare them?
