I agree with prisons need changed. Especially as we have a school to prison pipeline along with a foster care to prison pipeline - which I can go deep into as I have wrote a research paper on each, and both pipelines disproportionately represent minorities (Prison is today’s slavery - another topic we can discuss), but we are not going to claim self defense. No. I’m sorry. I’m a social worker who regularly advocates for changes, minorities, society, etc, and works in child welfare - the HARDEST form of social worker, but stabbing someone when you have the very real ability to walk away, is not self defense. And we are not going to claim that. Thats why there is a threshold. It has to be reasonable. Stabbing someone who is being racist towards you is not one. That’s like when a person walks on your property yelling at you and instead of doing anything else like going inside, walking away, calling the police, etc, the first reaction is to grab a gun and shoot them and claim self-defense, etc. They don’t win those cases and typically do not get to claim self-defense as the reaction far surpassed the reaction a normal person should have in a situation. That is how self-defense works.
