Police spreading misinformation on Self Defence

[oafpatroll]

Ofcourse not, I was just stating that sitting infront of a court room comes with consequences even though you are right for defending yourself. Mean no disrespect to your defense as to how a scenario can be interpreted.

Weird because that is exactly what you wrote.

"if that scenario is in a restaurant with a knife and gun, the attacker with the knife has to proceed to stab you in order to find it self defense"

I can't think of another reasonable interpretation of your own words.

I would also wager that 1911 Guy should perhaps familiarise himself with the "Tueler drill".
Waiting for someone to stab you is about as retarded as waiting for someone pointing a gun at you to start shooting before stopping him with a your own gun.

Used to train knife defences with kokis taped to training knives. Marks on your body were a good indicator of how fucked you would be in real life. Once knife guy was within 3-5m you were getting marked pretty much guaranted. An aggressive person with a knife should be shot generously at the maximum reasonably justifiable range until they calm down.

I would strongly suggest that you consider getting a current copy of Snyman on Criminal Law and reading up, from an authority, on the law of private defence and its slightly retarded sibling, putative self defence.

Know that book well 🥲

Is this book written in legalese or in plain understandable English?

It's an academic text book.

That said it is aimed at dumbass university students so its accessible.

I will take medical advice from a pot plant before I take legal advice from the police.

This ^^^ SAPS are a fuckn disgrace, most cops are just there to collect a paycheck; so I've give zero credence to anything a SAPS member says. A number of them can barely spell their own names, let alone give advice.

Fixed it for you.
