Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.

  Absolutely, but a much much lower risk than a stab. Since we are reasoning on the morals and not from a purely rhetorical point of view, we can’t consider them the same. Also that’s why I specifically said “slapping” in my example. Slapping is still physical violence, it’s still an attack, but it’s an example of something that doesn’t warrant a potentially fatal response.

    “Punching someone in the head can be just as fatal as stabbing.”

    I’m genuinely surprised people don’t know this.

      Did he go for the head? I haven’t seen any video or articles mentioning the intended target.
