someone use verbal threat. Because this guy heard that I was making funny of him behind his back and in his own words he said "Next time I hear you talking sh!t about me I put you six feet under!" Of course I'm not scared but I don't take kindly to people making threats to me.

No, but if it is combined with an aggressive movement toward you, you should defend yourself since he has made his intent clear. The words can't physically harm you, so if that is your only reason for a strike, you can be arrested for assault. You can notify the Police of the threat because it is a form of harassment, but I wouldn't bother unless you feel it is a serious threat against your life. Sounds like he was just blowing some smoke.

No, but it can be considered a threat and if you believe it strong enough the police can take action against a verbal threat.

on your subject, whilst the guy assaulted you from at the back of and choking you and have been given a lot of bruises and blood. You pronounced you have been in a downtown section yet on your tale it style of feels that the area you been is a few how abandoned. Downtown section abandoned? the place are the human beings there zap via an alien spacecraft? you're in a downtown section genuinely you may get removed from the guy via working to a diverse path. yet you probably did no longer. You knew fairly lots which you have past criminal background in simple terms like the guy who assaulted you. the two one among you tend to be criminals as they are saying. so which you're asking in case you may in a position to get off on SELF protection concept concerning this? Nope. no longer possibly self protection in my very own opinion. I guess additionally the choose won't purchase this self protection concept if ever she or he would be in a position to additionally discover out you bought load of criminal information. Why did you used a container cutter for? you understand too properly this you may the two decrease or kill a individual. in case you tried to run yet nevertheless being held lower back or shouted for help and tried each little thing achieveable to be rescued via somebody from any path down city perhaps using the container cutter ought to spell self protection on your area. yet you probably did no longer tried any determination yet basically the container cutter you have is the only you used. Killing determination must be your final determination no longer the precedence. to boot the different guy would not have any weapon in any respect neither a container cutter or a knife at the start. All you get are punches and kicks maximum in all probability. the guy did no longer even have been given a wood persist with hit you with. So your self protection alibi isn't achieveable on your tale. If i'm the choose i visit thrown your protection out of the window. specific the charge of attack with reason to kill is right. properly somebody ought to have seen the two one among you wrestling there downtown. properly whether you bought a reasonably reliable lawyer, your alibi can not be bought via the courtroom. as in the journey that your past conviction is tattooed on your face how can the choose award you this self protection concept?

no, you can not use any force because of the mere use of words.
If they try to physcially hurt you many states allow you to protect yourself, some states still require you to try to get away first
