You still haven't said what would be reasonable force - apart from some vague comments about using a different weapon.

Most improvised weapons that people have on their person in a public place are of little/no value and we're not allowed carry actual weapons for self defence.

There are videos on YouTube which show US police deliberately running over armed suspects instead of getting out of their cars and shooting them. A very effective way to neutralise a threat in certain situations.

Mash the right foot into the carpet and get that V8 singing!

Concrete is a great one that's always to hand in an urban enviorment. Fùck throwing jabs, get in close and crack their head on the ground. Note, tarmac won't be as good, conc ftw.

Abraham was the driver of the car in tragic circumstances in Maida Vale. He is seeking to be de-arrested. Surely in a story like this it should be top priority. He should be treated as a hero, not a criminal. Imagine the message it sends to men everywhere when they help a woman being attacked.

He killed someone, maybe two people? That has to be investigated. If he did nothing wrong, he doesn't need to worry.

It doesn't send any message to men anywhere.

Oh it sends a message pop, the opposite one to what has been in the media following the tragic deaths recently. Help women? Get treated like a criminal. There were many bystanders there and everything is on camera, what left is there to investigate.

The man he killed was not supposed to be anywhere near that woman as she had a restraining order against him.

No.

kill someone? Expect an investigation. That's what it says. If you have done nothing wrong, then everything will be ok.

Gentlemen, if you see a woman in danger call the police and keep on walking, You'll only get thrown under the bus afterwards anyway, if you make it out at all.

they could investigate without arresting him regarding murder.

The media storm over the tragic death in Ireland has abated. Nothing much will change. We don't have the prison space for low level violent offenders. So we can't instigate a zero tolerance agenda. Though im not sure if one is necessitated.

Meanwhile in my opinion a rather negative view of males will continue to be propagated by the media. In particular the Irish Times.

Certain males will continue to call themselves feminists just to seem right on and curry favour with the matriarchy. This is just my view but it's a widely held one.
