What would be an acceptable reason to stab an attacker?

WHITE

Larry

Because he is attacking?

Survival!

The answer is in your question. He attacked you, you reacted in self defense.

tHE MINUTE HE COMES AT YOU

Irish John Lennon

if he infered with you or your children, to death

heebygeeby

just being attacked by them would be good enough for me.

curmudgeon

Fear for your life, would be the legal reason.

snowmachine maniac

if they were going to kill you and you wanted to live!!!

t3h1

that they attacked me unprovoked.

If their attack can be seen as life threatening....if they have a weapon, then you can have a weapon. Or if you are small and the person can overpower you and kill or rape you, then you can stab them.

He wont let you go

reason: Uh...., you're being attached!!! - any other question

In self defense. You felt as though your life was threatened unless you performed such action.

Hard to prove, as the list of alternative actions might be great...run, hide, scream for help, perform some other life saving action...

kidnap...or stalkin..
or mentioned smthin bout mom...

if you feel you could clearly present a case to a jury that you were afraid for your life...see U S Supreme court Decision Tenn v Gardner 1984

As long as it's not pre-meditated on your behalf and you were genuinely defendind yourself.. But knowin British law you would probably be held responsible for attacking them.

I swear officer sir, the guy yelled at me, "Go on give it your best shot !!"

So I did................ I mean, he told me to.

lololol

Seriously, not trying to be smart, isn't that plausible?

They threw a knife at you, you caught it in mid air, before you knew what happened your attacker did a somersault in the air and landed on top of you and accidentally the knife (ouch).

Use of reasonable force under common law to protect yourself or someone else

If someone attacked you or your children with a weapon and you picked up a knife and stabbed him to protect yourself or your kids you would be in the clear.

If however, the attacker was running away from you at the time you woudl be on dodgy ground

topgunpilot22

none shoot them instead

Because you're being attacked. If you believe your life is in danger, you have the right to use deadly force to protect yourself or your family.

jefro

In the throat, it's easy and quick; about 7 minutes

Actually because they are attacking you. Its self defence.

The courts will see it that way too.

Ally S

well there is lots of situations were would you be attacked in the house were the knives would be.2 if you was on the streets then if you had a knife on you u would not get of with selfdefence.but if you were there then you could use it in de

TwiceShyGuy

Self defence or defence of your family !!.

o'yam

only if you were a member of the british royal family , otherwise you would be charged for excessive use of force.

wise5557

Don't know how the law sees it - if your life is in danger you have to defend yourself.Apart from that it is not acceptable to stab somebody.Hey hold on a sec before i forget,how you carrying a knife?if you are carry one please drop it, because those who go along with knife have the intention to use it.

Fear for your life or the life of another person, but in my case they would have their body, ventilated.
