And I would differ with you on the generational perception of danger. As a child growing up in south Texas the violent crime rate was far higher that it is today.
Too many people act like jerks in modern Western society as it has become so safe no real penalty exists for that type of behavior. That is until you run into someone who simply doesn't care.

Then, however, the question becomes more complex. There's no one who would argue that if someone is trying to kill you, it's your right to kill that person --even if that person is not in control of his or her senses. But, what if a drunk guy pushes you at a bar, and you happen to be armed, is shooting him in the heart acceptable? You don't have to leave the bar, but wouldn't it be a better option? Why? Because human life is precious and irreplaceable. Ok, "all lives matter."
Five months into the year, more than 1,000 people have been shot in Chicago and there have been more than 200 homicides, according to data kept by the Tribune. As of early Monday at least 1,071 people have been shot this year, below the last two years when violence hit record levels in the city but well above other recent years. There have been at least 202 homicides, the data shows.
A civilian's use of deadly force is generally justified if he or she reasonably believe that he or she is or other innocent lives are in imminent danger of death or serious injury.[1] Justification and affirmative defenses vary by state and may include certain property crimes, specific crimes against children or prevention of sexual assaults. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadly_force
A castle doctrine, also known as a castle law or a defense of habitation law, is a legal doctrine that designates a person's abode or any legally occupied place (for example, a vehicle or home) as a place in which that person has protections and immunities permitting one, in certain circumstances, to use force (up to and including deadly force) to defend oneself against an intruder, free from legal prosecution for the consequences of the force used.
[1] The term is most commonly used in the United States, though many other countries[which?] invoke comparable principles in their laws.
donno if all lives matter considering the present discussion
You say ignore race, the title of the thread is racist implying
that a law made is specifically used as the title suggest to "kill people of color"

You probably can't and never will.
please feel free to let me know how many lives you've saved and how many didn't make it
having worked with death I''ve made my own peace with thisYou say ignore race, the title of the thread is racist implying

I didn't write the title of the thread. I only gave an opinion that didn't rely on race. Some people can do it; some can't.
why ask to forget about race as if its not about race, of course the thread is about race, read the latest OP post.
Why post a clip with a racist and then say its not about race
In the video I posted, one guy is attacking another. The question was would it be acceptable for the guy getting pushed to shoot the pusher in the heart. My answer was/is no ... because all lives matter to me. It's somewhat surprising to me that some people are so casual about killing.

A truck driver parked in a handicapped-accessible spot
About three months ago, Richard Kelly told a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office detective he was confronted by Drejka at Circle A Food Store, the same store where he shot McGlockton. Drejka, documents said, was upset because Kelly parked in a handicapped-accessible spot. The exchange between the two became very loud and Kelly said at some point during the argument Drejka told him he was going to shoot him, documents said.
Drejka then went to his car and was rummaging around the center console, but documents said Kelly drove away. Drejka, Kelly said, also threw racial slurs at him. Kelly is black and Drejka is white.
Court documents said Drejka wanted to voice his complaint to Kelly’s employer, AA Cut-Rate Septic Tank Service, so he spoke to the owner, John Tyler. Drejka told the business owner he was lucky he didn’t blow his employee’s head off, documents said.
