You see it in their eyes. You can see that shoulder start to drop, just before they get ready to throw the punch.
You KNOW when it is coming. They have started, whether they know it or not, to get ready to hit you. They may not have comitted to action consciously, but they are moving toward it.
HIT THEM! Do whatever you have to do, RIGHT NOW. Nowhere does it say you have to take the punch as long as you REASONABLY believed it was coming. If there is intent, and the ability to commit the assault...you can, as a reasonable person, take steps neccessary to defend yourself.
After all...a good defense is only truly good, when you don't have to use it...i.e. when you know the attack is coming, you attack first, and are no longer is a defensive posture. You are in control, or hopefully you are.
No matter...you must be alive to be charged with anything.
Truthfully, if there are no witnesses....the first person to call 911 is the "victim". Be sure you call first.
But, don't allow yourself to be hit, just because you are afraid of the legalities. Hit first, hit hard, and hit until the threat is gone.
Amen, Dominus Ominus...
