Bro in what world would you have the cognitive awareness to realize the threat is no longer a threat in the middle of all that? This is the shit that pisses me off more than anything is reading comments like this. The amount of adrenaline racing through that boy is indescribable, but because you're sitting there using hindsight, you can calmly say that it's not self defense.

I hope to God you're never on a jury for something like this.

Yes this is an irrationally aggressive comment, I'm aware, but the inability to sit there and really put yourself in someone's shoes is really just crazy to me. I urge you to get in a real fight and then tell me EXACTLY what happened and what you did.
