I was assaulted a month ago, didn't draw any weapon but if strangers didn't intervene at the last second I would have. I belong to a targeted minority, and the only alternative to being able to defend myself is basically just to hide.

Edit: Maybe a bit longer than a month ago now

If the altercation started 15 seconds earlier it would have been different. If that changes nothing for you then there is no need to continue this
