If you
are sure you are seriously threatened, then you should strike out in a manner that will stop the other person from being a danger. This means (
at least) temporarily incapacitating them. Waiting while the other guy works himself up through the bluster that generally precedes senseless violence is nuts.
By “threatened” I mean you can’t walk or run away, and by “serious” I mean danger of real injury. Loosing face, being humiliated, or loss of a few bucks via a stolen wallet is not a “serious threat.”
