dear JaSin,

“You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.
Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?”.

Bobby these are USA rights provided by their constitution - we do not have that. The only right we tend to have in this regard is the right to be silent - to a point.

This always seems to be strange to me. It is saying that it is manditory that what you say will be used against you. It isn't given as optional. So by this it would mean that if you tell the police that you had toast for breakfast that is is manditory that they use this as evidence against you.

I posted about that

everyone has the right to defend themselves against unlawful attack .. feels that their life is in danger then they may legally and morally kill to defend themselves.

That's the woofy talk. 'Unlawful attack' is assumed to be 'life in danger'. And you attach that to government training to shoot.
There are large numbers of attacks in categories which don't put life in danger.

Unlawful attacks may not put life in danger but you are assuming that the person attacked should, before defending themselves, ascertain the intentions of the attacker, a mistake could mean death; therefore the person unlawfully attacked has every right to assume that the attacker intends grievous bodily harm and is justified in responding appropriately.

They all need to be neutralised and the street pacified for pedestrian operations.

‘’ There are large numbers of attacks in categories which don't put life in danger.’’
How does one know what is in the mind of the attacker?

The fact of an unlawful attack is an indication that harm is intended.
Do you really think that the person unlawfully attacked should have to analyse the attacker’s intentions in minute detail?

‘’I say, old chap, steady on a moment, do you intend me real harm or can I rightfully assume that you are not deadly serious ?’’

'Unlawful attack includes
Pushing or shoving during an argument.
Spitting on someone.
Throwing an object at someone.
Grabbing someone's arm.
Threatening to punch someone'.

Eoin in the under 95s cricket team sees a fieldsman toss a ball in the manner of a hand grenade while spitting. Ducking to the left, special agent Eoin (I am Fada, Eoin Fada) sights his 1914 Mauser and drills a circle on the target, 10mm across.
Quiet applause from the deckchairs, band plays 'British Grenadiers'.
