Well there is the suggestion "he was about to lose consciousness".  If you're on the ground, being kicked and beaten to the point you're afraid of losing consciousness, then that counts as fear of death / GBH.

I'm trying to decide if I want to do a labor day cookout for my clients, sexual slaves and faithful vassals. I know I'll have to borrow an extra grill for the vegetarian shit.  :glare:

I'll make 'em eat brisket from the Big Green Egg.
