I?d consider it deadly force (as the victim) in a ?fist fight? due to my age and physical condition so I make it a priority not to piss anyone off. . I have been house bound for exactly six weeks so have not been threatened recently to have the crap kicked out of me. Perhaps I had better just remain house bound.

I'm with you Bob !!! The only ones who want to kick my ass are the robocalls that I screw with

Given the high potential for a single, well-placed punch to cause death or serious injury, or being knocked to the ground and sustaining a fatal head injury, or the potential for an attacker to go into rage mode and black out and commit actions which they have no true awareness over, I personally consider any use of force as threatening my life. Hence, I do my best to completely avoid such situations.

Thanks for the replies, guys. The owners are not the problem. Most times they are the ones going after the thieves. People are getting desperate and erratic.

Just remember.... you're getting paid $12.95 an hour (or whatever the rate) to do a job description (x), you're not getting paid $12.95 an hour to go above the call and duty and potentially die, for a net benefit of a couple CD-players don't successfully leave the store (or whatever the product).

Crazy people are unpredictable. I've got to get paid a whole LOT more before I'm going to accept that kind of risk, or in the alternate, actually have a societal benefit beyond "profit margin 0.025% higher this quarter".

Stopping bad people is also a bad life motivation (if that is a personal goal) - esp once you realize your government will just catch and releases them with no ramification. Helping good people is much better.
