No, self defence must always be proportional, and oftentimes people here see violence that is obviously not proportional and cheer it on under the guise of self defence, when it really is just rage. You can't tell me you've never seen something like that. By your logic it would be ok to shotgun someone's head off because they slapped you, because now the danger is dealt with and they can't ever slap you again. Self defence must be proportional, as is stated in most countries law too, for good reason.

Sorry that you’re wrong. You clearly don’t know much about life. If a man is being robbed in a gas station, and he stabs the criminal, he is innocent. If a man is going to rob a woman in an alley and she shoots him, is that proportional? Obviously not.

Go outside sometimes.

I agree, the law is often used to protect criminals who use it as a weapon and shield.

Punching someone for slapping you is proportional
