Possibilities /= probabilities.
Maybe she stabbed him right through the arm with blood gushing anime style! Maybe she barely broke the skin.
Maybe he was fine. Maybe he died from tetanus. Maybe he got run over shortly after stepping out of the carriage. Maybe he gave up his life of mashing, donated everything to charity and became a monk.
We don't know. But I know which way I'd bet.
As for other incidents, not every incident is the same, not all results are the same, accidents happen and some are likely outright hostile too!
To compare them and say an outcome in one should be applicable to another is not practicable.
For the original case I would happily maintain, to defend herself as she did, with the information she had at hand, was entirely reasonable.
- Igelau 6y agoWe are clearly at an impasse. You can go your way enjoying the cognitive dissonance of thinking it's okay to murder suspected gropers on crowded trains, and I'll go my way choosing not to live your bloodsoaked justice porn nightmare ("anime style!" Really?). I propose a truce: Neither of us ever run for political office.
- CarbyAu 6y agoWe disagree on the topic of "what I am thinking". I touted possibilities, doesn't mean I wished for them! I wasn't hoping for anime style blood! I would wish the masher not start the whole thing in the first place. But I agree we are at an impasse. As much as I want to agree with your truce on exactly those terms... (I currently hate the idea of getting into politics.) I can't say openly and honestly on the internet that I never will want to run for political office. These days have shown it would come back to bite me should I say such. I CAN say I will never run for Office outside of Australia - will that do?
