If for no reason, you whacked me and injured me - yes.
If I put a cinder block through your car window, or picked a fight with you, then you have every right to give me a non-hospitalization pounding, in my opinion.
If one is willing to put him/herself into an aggressive situation, then that person should be open to the possibility of bodily harm. It is pititful that a lot of people are afraid to defend themselves because a mugger might decide to sue. I\'m not saying that domestic violence, or violence in general is right, I\'m just saying that we are a nation of pussies who need to quit crying about every bloody lip and skinned knee.
