You're not required to risk your life for someone that's victimizing you. You didn't create the situation and your responsibility is to defend yourself and your loved ones.

Sure I'll keep a knife on me and shank every cunt that walks near me as they might be a threat

Sounds totally fucking sane. No wonder this planets fucked when there's people looking for an excuse to put someone six feet under.

You should chill a bit and not make wild assumptions.

Can you respond to me directly with what you find wrong with the idea, or present an actual situation you think I'd be okay with?

I'm talking about clear and obvious aggression. If someone pulls a knife, you're allowed to defend yourself. You don't have to wait to get stabbed.

And I would recommend a firearm for defense, but that's on you. I carry a knife so I can kill myself if I feel like it.
