    Also in civilized countries, self defense is only valid if you’ve exhausted every possible opportunity to retreat.The idea of “stand your ground” laws in the US is widely to considered to contribute to a violent society rather than deter.

    For example in Florida in an instance of road rage a man fired a gun at another vehicle. Since the victim has no obligation to retreat, and even had his own weapon, he simply returned fire. So there’s a shootout in the middle of the street in broad daylight with innocent people around.

    That stuff doesn’t happen in safe societies.

      Holy fuck, you’re naive. Naive to the point of being a danger to the human beings around you.

        Go have a read about self defense laws around the world.

        America is the naive one here.
