Quote: The U.S. Census Bureau defines the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race"[37] and states that Hispanics or Latinos can be of any race, any ancestry, any ethnicity.[38] Generically, this limits the definition of Hispanic or Latino to people from the Caribbean, Central and South America

But that doesn't say that every person from South America is Hispanic.

Your ignorance must be a great comfort to you in times of trouble.

Actually, you do.  If the speaker makes threats and you believe they are able to carry them out, physically defending yourself is permissible under the law.

Boru

Wrong.

There must be immenent threat. Future threat does not meet the threshold.

What legal training do you have in this?

Me - I have been through state mandated training for a concealed carry permit  at least a dozen times. (Only once is required)

Yes, it has to be an imminent threat (left that bit out, sorry).

I have no legal training of any sort, but I have access to an extensive law library and am able to look things up.

Let's take a hypothetical:

Joe approaches Jim and says, 'I have a gun in my pocket.  In five seconds, I'm going to shoot you through the head.' Jim knows that Joe routinely carries a firearm and has found out that Jim is having an affair with Joe's wife.  Rather then wait out the five seconds, Jim charges Joe and beats him bloody.

Is Jim guilty of assault or has he acted in self defense?

It depends....

If Joe doesn' t actually have a gun on his person - he just suckered Jim into physically assaulting him. Unless Jim can prove Joe made a credible threat ( akin to a bank robber saying he has a gun without showing it being charged with armed robbery) then Jim is likely facing prison time for assault.

...
We can sit here and play hypotheticals all day - but situations like you describe almost never happen.

If somebody is really going to shoot you - they are not going to give you a heads- up to give you a chance to disarm them. That' s only in movies. Reall life - they shoot you first and then make snarky comments.
