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?

always act to preserve yourself

Yeah but I'm just saying there are situations where it's not so serious

but dont start unnecessary fights

Even if they don't try to kill you, you might end up maimed lol

And you'd get away with it if you did it but I don't think you should

The moment you attack someone, you forfeit your life

I think mercy is good in many cases

well it depends on the context

It might not come to manslaughter
