Discrimination is part of life and survival.

Masood gets it
good info. thanks.
Went to the U.K. this spring. At customs, they look you in the eye and ask all sorts of questions. Very friendly about it. They are reading body language. Like Israel does.
The show Brain Games says much of our perception is based on survival instinct. They show about 16 faces for 15 or so seconds. Then they ask “How many are happy?” I think about 50% get it right. Then they ask “How many are angry?” About 90% do!
Reading body language is a very important tool. Are our millennial learning this?
A nice addition to “everyday” situational awareness. I have done enough people watching to have a good handle on body/eye/facial language - usually use it to keep from engaging with one who seems intent on “being goaded” into something.
100% spot on EXCEPT that Kansas has no duty to retreat.

Article 52. - PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINAL LIABILITY
21-5222. Same; defense of a person; no duty to retreat.
(b) A person is justified in the use of deadly force under circumstances described in subsection (a) if such person reasonably believes that such use of deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to such person or a third person.
(c) Nothing in this section shall require a person to retreat if such person is using force to protect such person or a third person.

Backing down to aggression is NOT the way to stop it.
Cowering, sheltering in place or running away is no answer to lawlessness.
