That's kind of absurd.

Your subjective opinion, not an argument of fact.

No one has the right to make you fear for your life.

I guess there's the difference, and maybe I'm an oddball; no one can make me fear for my life without making a direct threat to my face. Even if they threaten my "category" through graffiti or whatnot, they don't know me or where to find me. Standing in front of me, with a weapon, and offering to use it on me the individual, that's another story; even then, permitted the use of my own defensive means, I will have not fear, but confidence.

Oh well. Guess some people can't "man up". Especially if they can wield government power as a weapon by calling themselves "oppressed" in some way.

I grow weary of this. Look for no further replies.

Hand to hand combat is not exactly everyone's ideal problem solving situation.

Watch the black/gay/muslim/catholic/jew guy/girl try to fight back and then everyone who has been waiting for an excuse to pile on...

Not everyone is a big strong confident meatheaded man - and they shouldn't have to be in order not to be threatened or intimidated.
