I've hit about a half dozen guys in the trachea. None of them have died.
Mostly, they are as described above, in total shock, which leaves the opportunity to finish them off.
The worst reaction I've elicited was "knocking the wind out" type of effect that ended the fight. They choked, sputtered and couldn't breathe. If you're lucky, this is the desired effect of hitting someone in the throat. But, again... that's an opening gambit. They really shouldn't be given a chance to see it coming.
You shouldn't be fighting, in general, anyways. If you aren't planning ahead to avoid violence, you're doing it wrong. You should be packing, if you are in need of self defense. I've won plenty of fights, but injuries last a lifetime and you only have to lose once to die. Trust me, it isn't worth punching some asshole in the face if you're going to feel the pain in your hands for the next 50 years. It's not worth choking someone out if you tear your rotator cuff in the process. You feel some things for the rest of your life.
Good security starts with a dog, a pistol and a long gun.
Mace is a half measure. I can handle mace long enough to get to you.
A knife is a half measure. Nobody wins in a knife fight. Knives are for opening gambit moves. Kill by surprise. If you are forced into a knife fight, focus on "timers", places where a small cut will result in blood loss enough to end the fight. Inside the arm, just under the armpit, inside the leg, under the groin, the throat, and the top of the head. A small knick on the top of the head with a very sharp knife will blind your opponent with blood and take them out of the fight.
Either way, don't rely on half measures. Don't fight. That's the best advice.
If you are planning on being in a fight, always have back up. Certain things, they won't show you in movies or on TV. A deadly choke out is one thing TV and movies will never show you exactly how to do... just the general idea.
Same goes for neck snapping. The best way to snap someone's neck is from behind. You do not turn their head left to right. I, myself, was under the illusion and I tried it on a guy who shot at me in Texas. My brother, who is larger and stronger, tried after I didn't get it... but he tried like ten times. The neck did not break.
Later, I learned the correct way to do it, is to turn the chin up to where the forehead is. The perfect technique is that you use someone to distract them, in front, you kick their knee in from behind, causing a drop, while you grab their chin with your dominant hand and the top of their head. As they fall, rotate their chin to where their forehead was.

Alright. Check
lol
What's your "size" are you above average or under? Relatively to your opponents

Well you know, sometimes you walk the streets at night minding your business with your booze and a bunch of diversity niggers are right next the corner and 15 secs later the atmosphere has turned confrontational because muhdick

Not always possible, not always available...
Sometimes (in fact always as far as I'm concerned) I only have my body, my shoes and my keys

Just hammer the jaw man lol... You know, all those unethical and perverted experimental ideas are just that...
That's why I stick to what worked for me, I got into trouble engaging in stuffs I wasn't 100% used to, It made me hesitate at a crucial moment, I wasted opportunities and energy as a result, which could have resulted in a total disaster, it was close

What's your "size" are you above average or under? Relatively to your opponents
I'm average size, but I spent my entire childhood in different martial arts. Certain things, like controlling someone with their wrist, comes really naturally to me, and I can generally manage to control someone slightly larger than myself... even if I have to kick their leg out a few times while gaining control. I am also very sure-footed, relative to most, but I limit kicking to controlled, downward spikes to the knee or shin. I've grabbed too many legs of people trying to kick me to know that you don't kick anywhere near someone's grip. Some people are quick like lightning at grabbing your kicks out of the air.
sometimes you walk the streets at night minding your business with your booze
It's true, but not drinking and not walking around at night are good preventative measures. If you must, have a team. If you can't have a group, have a buddy. The buddy system is super important, in general.

This is true. At which point, running is always an option. Practice cardio. Also, if you drive and always maintain your "escape route" where you naturally move from positions where you're blocked in by other cars... it's basically the same strategy as walking around. Always be aware of escape routes and never put yourself in a corner.
Just hammer the jaw man
Yes, the hinge is where you should hit. I really recommend the choke out, as soon as possible. I very much recommend always coming at your opponent from behind. One rule, that I see rarely followed, that was beat into me, was that you never, ever, ever put your back to an opponent. The moment you see someone's back, go go go go go go.

I might have a picture or two of one. I'll check.
