in texas the use of force has to be proportionate to the threat.....NO IT IS NOT. This isn't about how you personally feel. You are not inclined to use your fist over a weapon to defend yourself. I don't know where the hell people keep getting this information. You can use whatever you need to use to defend yourself.
Witnesses say that Austin was trying to push Karmelo out of the tent. That's not something Austin had the right to do. Karmelo grabbed the knife because who knows if Austin was going to continue to try to force him out of the tent. If someone put their hands on you like that, you have no idea what that person is going to do next.
