Makes sense. Culture, customs and laws affect the best defence strategies. Seems your country is a litle more dangerous than mine. Here knifes aren’t ignored. Recently a mother who defended her daughter from a violent exboyfriend has been put to trial for cutting him even if it was in self defense when he broke into her home. She is facing 3 years, go figure. And a mother who burned her daughter rapist was put to jail when she found him breaking the protection order in a permit for more years than he was. Go figure.

Anyway, it also seems that the “retaliation threath” is used in both. But sadly, seems there are random idiots everywhere.
