I saw some footage that really disturbed me and I've seen it before in person but didn't know the severity of the injuries because I never followed through.
Two girls are in a physical altercation. They fall to the ground and the one on top grabs the others head, and with all her might she bashes the other girls skull into the ground 3 times. Then girl then locks up her legs. Her arms become distorted. Her eyes wide open. And begins seizing. Then the woman gets off, punches her 2 more times, and kicks her in the back, then takes off. The story is she now has permanent brain damage.
So, defining "unarmed" is a totally different thing these days. With the media shouting that out left and right it's never justified that anyone should ever shoot an "unarmed" person. They never take into consideration just how fragile the human body is.
Police officers carry a multitude of weapons. Imagine one getting knocked unconscious when someone is in a fit of rage and seeing red? Imagine us concealed carrying Americans, thinking twice because of what has been instilled in our minds by the masses to believe that we cannot defend ourselves unless we see a gun and have the person shooting at us or even getting hit. The things that are said go that far. "You didn't know if it was loaded." Or "he just wanted your money." Etc. Imagine we get overpowered and someone takes away our weapon that we have in our waistband. Nothing good can come from that.
Fights, are for television, and children. Self defense, in hand to hand altercations are great if you train professionally or by a professional. If you're not trained in hand to hand combat. Don't engage in hand to hand combat. If you're not trained in gunfighting, try even harder not to get into a gun fight.
Avoid the altercations at all costs. The only reason you should ever engage anyone at all is to save your life or a loved ones life. If someone's life is in imminent danger of great bodily harm (becoming a vegetable) or death.
Case and point. A person who is unarmed is still deadly and should be treated as so. The severity of how they should be treated as so could never be guessed, every case is different.
We can sit here for decades and pull out different fantasy scenarios to attempt to break or make what I said in this post. The only thing that's an undeniable fact that we should all agree on is that a person does NOT need to me "armed" to be deadly or be a threat to you. You need to use your own judgment at the time. Just don't let your guard down into thinking they're not just because they don't have a weapon in their hands. Their hands are bad enough.
