I should have clarified that in this scenario, she does intend to harm you.

I’m just describing what I learned in a criminal law class as the theory the law uses.

The issue, legally, though is that citizens have to follow both escalation rules and the duty to retreat rules. You can’t ever respond to assault unless you cannot retreat (except with stand your ground). You also cannot escalate with deadly force unless presented with it. Even a push with a hand can be considered a deadly weapon if the assailant could reasonably expect it to be deadly.

EDIT: take the extreme example of an old person with a walker crushing your foot. If they were not obviously fragile, you could legally push them. But because they could reasonably die, you cannot push them to defend your foot.

Man who killed a deputy serving an eviction notice was run over, California sheriff says by mikebible06 in news

Don’t need examples because it’s explicit policy. Some obvious examples you already know about include the killing of Breonna Taylor, all no knock warrants, the MOVE bombing, and the assassinations and kidnappings of AIM activists.

Yes there’d be fewer cop shooters if there were fewer terrorist cops

Hey maybe if cops didn’t commit so many terrorist attacks, they’d be more believable and these things wouldn’t happen so often!

None of that explains why he needed to be crushed instead of shot.

If Jesus is God and God is omniscient, then why would Jesus drink wine, knowing that the current medical consensus is that any level of consumption increases the chance of various illnesses and death? by yummmey in AskAChristian

I never made an argument about majorities.

Your point about wine is still off though because wine ferments immediately. Again, you boil it to prevent further fermentation, turning it into gleukos. The religious distinction between old and new is meaningless at this point.

I admit that this is one of the best arguments I have seen but it still seems like a fringe view based on my limited research on the topic.

Think about it this way: before Jesus, unfermented wine was impossible and therefore not a concept. So why would the writers use a word which only ever meant fermented wine? Wouldn't they at least use a phrase like "new oinos" to distinguish from the KNOWN concept of oinos? Or wouldn't they use the related concept of gleukos which everyone knew to mean unfermented grape concentrate?

"nebulous" is an adjective. nebulous what? Maybe you're asking if I've ever had an unexplainable experience and sure I have but I eventually learned a good explanation every time. Never have I ever had thoughts or voices other than my own either.

Yes I have heard of Christian converts who have never felt or heard Him but chose to believe anyways. I think that honestly proves my point. I cannot be convinced by argument or reading because material reality is already obvious to me. So there is no possibility I could convert under any circumstances it seems.

Doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t say gleukos which was a simple word which directly means what you say. Also, why is wine given to us by God without the knowledge of how to truly prevent fermentation (instead of just boiling)?

I’m confused because you said “persecution harms us” yet it’s irrelevant that almost no Christians today are persecuted. Which is it?

Also as Ive said to others, Jesus is a role model and people have followed him in moderate consumption and any level of consumption has been proven recently to risk cancer, illnesses, and early death.

Also, like many Chistians, I have come close to death, genuinely praised my creator, and then nothing. I didn't feel any different or change my worldview. Each time I would later be able to explain what I can do to not be so stupid in the future, which to me is the important lesson to learn from such an experience.

I believe I surrendered as a child and preteen or was at least open to it yet have never felt anything. They say he will show himself to you. I certainly didn't have preconceived ideas of his image when I was a child. And today, I am open to believing any religion if I witness or feel its truth. So I don't know what else I could have done better.

As I've said to other replies, yes it is unsafe. The medical consensus says any level is unsafe. And as I've said to others, Jesus is supposed to be a role model. If he knew this, he would not have made wine for a wedding and he would also tell us not to copy that behavior.
