They kept coming and and you feared for your safety. That's the perfect example for why we all carry. Nobody was hurt or had to be carried to the hospital and the only damage done was the pee running down their legs.
In my experience, anyone who ignores verbal and universally understood hand signals to stop approaching has shown himself to be a threat and must be treated as such.
Amen - in the same way that the victim selection process is a multi-step, escalating evaluation, we have to use similar tests to assess a threat. People ignoring commands and gestures ratchets my threat assessment up very quickly.
