If you defend yourself with a knife or firearm, which is a reasonable response to someone attempting to abduct you or assaulting you in such a way that you fear will result in your death, they WILL kill you.

And, fwiw but beside the point, they will get away with it too.

That is what makes this pattern of action by them so beyond the pale -- there is no possible manner for a citizen to defend and exercise all of their rights once they decide to behave that way.
