Self defence is not unlawful, but there is something called reasonable force. And yes killing someone in self-defence is unlawful and the killer deserves to be punished.
Taking another life in the sense we are discussing in this thread is never justified. Not only that how would you sleep at night knowing what you done? I couldn't, if I knew I'd killed someone it would drive me crazy. |
How I or anyone else comes to peace with taking someones life is not really the issue. Reasonable force is only an issue for law enforcement., those folks have been trained in such issues. I'm talking about it's my life or yours, self defense. When I am dead the comfort that my killer will be brought to justice isn't much of a cosnolation.
