Thing I literally said in my previous comment: >That being said- **fuck yeah if you're caught in something like this by someone who you think actually wants to severely injure you, stab the shit outta them.** It might end up with you being put to sleep, only to wake up with them slitting your throat with your own knife with the last of their strength, or a broken neck, or any number of things- but it's definitely better than being choked out "on the streets", and it's easily to defend legally: "He was choking me, I couldn't breathe, I had to stab him 38 times." I just don't want people to feel like simply having a knife and the will to stab someone will win a fight, especially after someone's obtained an extremely dominant position over you such as a rear-naked choke. If they weren't planning on killing you, and then you suddenly stab them, they're going to squeeze as hard as they can or maybe start trying to jerk your head around. No different than trying to gouge eyes, kick groins- no one thing is going to save you, and retards spread this attitude of "I got my [insert one thing that you believe makes you invincible], I'm untouchable!" I actually *agreed* with you, but elaborated on hypothetical scenarios a bit. I'm guessing you didn't read the part where I said "Yeah, stab the shit out of someone if they're choking you, if you can".
