I agree with everything you are saying. But reminds me of the early days of anti lock braking and in particular all sorts of now more common electronic driving controls. In particular 'can't defy the law of physics'. A car spinning out will not stop spinning just because you have those breaks it's already in motion. In the case of your friend he did something stupid and got into a situation that he was not prepared for (I had to look up bakkat makki). He didn't recognize the bottle as being dangerous which in retrospect unless you think movies are real is kind of obvious. I was cut on my hand by accident years ago in a work situation by an art knife (by an employee). Same situation and it wasn't a fight. Agree with the kickboxing and I would even say as someone who had a bag as a kid and did karate kicks with it the power that you actually had seemed foolish in thinking you could disable someone with that. Maybe an old lady or a child. Otherwise so much time for someone to react.
