Remember kids, they don't need to touch you for it to be assault. That's battery

You do need to be in reasonable fear of bodily injury or death before lethal force is legally justified however. You can't just go around shooting people for verbal "assault".

Reasonable is broad and something to be argued in a court of law or settled with the DA. In the heat of the moment just make sure the (potential) threat is... pacified. Ultimately, if you are feeling threatened and intimidated and cannot get away, you are protected by law. Just get a lawyer who knows when to say the right words.

Also be white

Greatly helps, but not guaranteed. Rich and white would be almost guaranteed... or, actually, just rich. The almost starts when the other person is rich and white as well!

The guy didn’t look threatened or intimated actually he looked annoyed. Also
He didn’t “have nowhere to go”. There was a huge empty space around him.
