My intent was not to worry people, but to ensure that they know their location is safe. On the matter of self defense, I'm sure everyone is capable of defending themselves, and I'm glad to hear you're confident in your abilities. Just don't be too hasty, sometimes goring people is not the answer.
Anyways, I hope your court case goes well, regardless of my personal opinion on the matter.
(You may want to be cautious, saying you lied in court will not reflect well on your case, deleting that message may be in your best interests. Tread carefully.)
