I have not killed anyone, but have worked with a lot of people that have, and have worked in situations where I was forced to hurt someone, and have been in fights, in the course of my work, where people were seriously hurt and maimed- I have no desire to hurt, much less kill anyone, but I know from experience that when someone tries to do me harm, I will react in the best way I know how to prevent this....There is sort of a square your shoulders and get ready moment that happens somehow out of time, in the fraction of a second before the violence starts, that I have seen people, even trained, combat experienced men sort of stall out at- the catchup time can get you hurt, and incidentally I have seen it happen less when there are larger numbers involved- its easier, I think, to jump, when everyone else is there with you.... I tend to , BTW think that all people are wired primarily to survive, and that killing is a part of this, unless you are a dedicated vegetarian someone is killing every piece of meat that you eat, If you hunt then you are killing something, hell, when driving your car in the warmer months thousands of insects die on your windshield..... I think our society has sort of divorced itself from death as much as possible, and this makes it a strange and alien thing, when not so many years ago it was fairly closely known by most people.....
