    The law in the U.K. agrees with him. You do not have to wait for them to strike first. You are permitted to strike first as long as you legitimately believe you are about to be physically attacked. It’s still self-defence.

      I half agree with you. I'm sure that's in the law there but I've seen instances where a muslim hits a white guy first and police come in and arrest the white guy, this is when on camera the muslim was the clear aggressor at some protest. I've seen another where muslims are pressing in on a native brit and he strikes first then gets arrested later. I feel there seems to be some favoritism going on.

      @@Dante-vf4sd It's very simple. Someone shouting in your face has no good intentions. If I back off and they take a step forward, they've just given me the right to stop their act of aggression under the right circumstances. They don't need to attack you, you need to prove that a reasonable person would believe they were at risk of imminent harm.

    4) Opportunity
    Along with
    5) Threat of violence. If the person physically moves into a position that projects an aggressive intent, no punches need be thrown. If these things align, it is legally an assault (placing a person in reasonable apprehension of an attack) and anything you do past that is self defense.

      I was really skinny in high school, but after I had taken enough for weeks in this "new" school, I guess he hit me good but I apparently beat him. Had him down, face down, after we flipped over a water fountain and I was stopped before dropping my knee into the back of his neck. Football coach pretty much carried us both to the office. 2 weeks later, some of his friends were now my friends and none messed with me again. I just snapped when I got pushed from behind and turned around and I punched the closest guy. F**ktards on both "sides" thought it was a racial thing but that's what the area was like over 30 years ago.

      And what happens when their friends all gang up on you? 3 on 1 you have zero chance let alone 4or 5.

    Exact how my dad taught me. Try to avoid conflict, but if you know someone isn’t going to leave you alone you make them regret it.

      That’s how you get an assault charge let the other person swing dodge that hoe then beat them up and claim self defense

    That’s true. If you are in imminent danger because you’re being pressed defend yourself at all times.

    My mom always said don’t start a fight, but finish it. She didn’t say I couldn’t hit first just to not actually start the fight, and there’s a big difference

    Speaking the truth. People die in fights. Don't wage your health on the hope they aren't going to maul you if given an advantage. No matter what age. Always strike first.
