I think the clear message is: DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN AN ESCALATION! (Even passive-aggressive escalations!) Don't trade words and silly machismo banter. Don't go looking for a fight.rev210 wrote:Sentenced to 40 years today.

You have no requirement to retreat, but that doesn't mean you should march into a hornets' nest to set up camp, either.
The retreat condition seems more like, "If you're walking down the street, minding your own business, in a place you're legally allowed to occupy, and somebody presents you with a clear threat to your life or serious bodily harm, you are under no obligation to retreat before meeting force with force." That's not what happened in the video I just watched.
