Quote from gwb-trading:
If a person dressed up as a Jesus Christ zombie in a parade then would it be acceptable for an offended Christian to beat him?
If someone punches you on the nose and you defend yourself, are you beating or self defending?
If you say it is self defense, it would mean that you may view as "punching" only what you consider as "punching" . The nose could be something else, and the punch could be an other act. Both may not be apparent to your eyes, and you may disagree with, but that is irrelevant.
It is the judge who matters, because he has the intellectual capacity to see what you cannot see or want to see, and the moral upstanding, independence to reach a right decision.
