[blparent] Guns (was A total stranger crosses the line)

Thu May 16 23:23:10 UTC 2013

I wouldn't try to hurt somebody who was pulling me somewhere or being
inappropriately helpful, unless they were actually putting me in
danger and verbal requests and/or jerking away didn't work. For
example, if somebody tried to drag me across the street while
perpendicular traffic was going by and could hit me, I would say no,
plant my feet, jerk my arm and resort to self-defense only if none of
the above worked. Or I might if somebody tried to actually lift me up
and carry me somewhere in such a way that I couldn't break free and I
didn't know where they were taking me. Even if I did use a strategic
punch or kick, the goal wouldn't be to seriously hurt them, but just
to disable long enough so that I could get out of the dangerous
situation.
