Take away all self defence laws, and people won’t even think about running away but fight back or shot the attacker in the head. People are MOSTLY afraid not of the fact of hurting somebody, but spending their lives in jail afterwards, getting caught after it since lying low nowadays is close to impossible with all security cameras and countless witnesses all the time

I think this says way more about you than it does other people.
I don’t know if this is accurate as a rule for all or even most people, but it definitely is true for a lot of people given how some people act when law and order is absent or hard to enforce (e.g. during wars).
Assuming you just mean in self-defense. Most people have never been in that situation and have no idea how they’d react. In life or death moments people are generally acting on instinct rather than considering the long term possibilities of each choice before making a decision. Personally I would probably retreat because it’s usually safer.
I don’t like to kill bugs let alone a person. It’s certainly not just a consequences thing. I think if cornered I would hurt someone to get away but not because I want to.
OP, the book “On Killing” by David Grossman might interest you.
or maybe a good majority of people just dont want to hurt people just because and not due to anything other than not wanting to 🤷🏽
How many people did you survey about this? Where is your data? Just because your psychopathic self wants to hurt other people doesn’t mean the majority of the population does.
