And just by producing the knife, they're showing their intent to kill you.

But if someone lightly shoves you, in circumstances that make it clear he's simply trying to get you out of a tent, then at most you're allowed to shove or punch them back, although even that, probably not.

You don't have a license to stab them to death.

If people could just murder anyone who shoves them, public transit would become a battle royale every day, which it already kind of is.

It makes no sense.

One thing from his defenders on X, you see this phrase a lot where they say, they say, oh, we put his hands on him.

Don't put your hands on someone.

Don't put your hands on someone.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but in a civilized society,

which you are blessed to live in, in a civilized society, someone putting their hands on you does not automatically give you license to just murder them.

They treat it like it's some sort of technicality.

Oh, you put your hands on me.

Technically, now I get to kill you.

Yeah, but you didn't fear for your life.

Yeah, but technically, hey, he touched me.

It's like a children's game tag or something.

Oh, he tagged me.

I'm it.

I get to kill you.

That's really what they think.
