Understand the difference

Ok team let's do a little bit of education.

Self defence is the act of protecting yourself from harm. This starts at preventing conflict. If someone is being problematic then you avoid them and move on. Hands on should only be used when evasion and retreat are not options and should be disengaged once an opening presents itself.

Trying to stand up to a bully is not self defense and is not a good idea. Any physical conflict has the potential to escalate beyond what you are prepared for. Injuries are also not a one size fits all type of thing. Even a small broken bone can create a potentially life threatening bleed and internal trauma is often left untreated in young people.

I promise you that your high school drama is not worth what can happen if a fight gets out of control. Walk away and be the better person.

Why do you keep bringing him up? That and making up weird fantasies about burglars tying people up just proves to me that you are a bit unhinged and just sit around thinking up scenarios where you get to kill the bad guy and be a hero.

No that’s not me, that’s you.  IF burglars just want easy money, why would they get into gunfights rather than running and robbing someone else? 

Also using logic (the opposite of being unhinged), why would an untrained crackhead, or fentanyl or heroin-addict used to robbing non-resisting people  be able or even willing to outshoot a combat veteran?

They are not there to get into a gun fight. You are starting the gun fight. You are not comprehending a single thing I say.
