At the point you realize he's black.

Or if you're like George ZIMMERMAN, and you've picked a fight with the wrong black guy and you've realized it too late because he's already whuppin' your ass.

So those are two cases. SMH.

Wow his first time huh? I heard he tried Thai food for the first time not long before too! And one time he wore dungarees to church. Any one of those things could have led to his horrible acts. Or maybe he was just nuts.

Well, it is a proven fact that pot can bring it about, but there is no such proof about Thai food.

How about if someone breaks into your home?

Are you going to ask the home invader if he is armed? I hope to god I never have a break in, especially while my family is home, because I wouldn't put the question to him.

Someone can kill or maim with bare hands as easy as with a weapon. As Dirty Harry said "A man has to know his limitations." I think I'd know if I was hopelessly outmatched by an attacker, and if I'm protecting someone else, I will use my weapon. Without hesitation. Unarmed does not even mean not extremely dangerous.

I really don't know. I think it depends on the situation.

It is easy to look at a situation through 20 different angles after the fact, but when you are standing there being eyed down by someone twice your size, or maybe strung out on something so they are acting twice as strong, it's another story.

Ironic that in your false race card playing post you added SMH.

When one initiates force on another the aggressor has forfeited their right to life. How the victim chooses to defend himself is up to his personal discretion. Being armed or not is not relevant for either party.

Plus as desertdetroiter noted you can kill black people anytime you want. Of course that's understood. I kill 3 or 4 per day.
