SD: The difference between you and him ....

When you get into a street altercation with a criminal you have two sides to consider. Hopefully you have given this extensive thought and consideration before the encounter. The two differences are: One, your a law abiding citizen and are governed by the laws and the morals by which you live. You have to consider all the repercussions of a conflict that is physical. Two, the other guy who is attacking you doesn't really give two shits for the law or the repercussions or he  would not have targeted you. He has scoped you out, decided you as a good/easy target to get what he wants and is not restricted by all the baggage you are going to carry into the fray.

You care, the criminal doesn't ..... think about that. Are you willing to take the chances and depending on your answer what strategies and tactics will you give yourself permissions to use? You caring, your morality, your belief system, you .... matter and are both a handicap, as to SD, and a benefit, as to Life. Hard choice.
