When "Anti Bullying Laws" Go Too Far...

Come to Slovenia. Our laws don't know self defence. You kick someone back you're as liable to prosecution as the one who attacked first.

No cases are dealt with on their merits, self defence is something that is weighed.

Textbook selfdefence. He got 8 years for murder,

Thats a very short sentance for murder, isn't it 15-30?
Perhaps self defence was a factor even though the homicide itself was ruled illegal.
So that case, that was one murder, one attempted murder , two counts of assualt with intent..... 8 years is a bloody short term for conviction on that pile isn't it
Dragged out quite a bit didn't it, lots of convoluted legal processes....and self defence was claimed by the defence wasn't it. How did they manage to claim self defence in court if self defence is illegal?

Basically it's all about what can be reasonably considered self-defence.

Same everywhere, local example.
An old man shot a burglar, justifiable defence of property and person.
The burglar then got up so the old mad beat him with a stick, justifiable defence of person, though the degree of the beating he gave could make it questionable.
After breaking the arms and legs and fracturing the skull the old man notices that when he dumps the burglar over a wall he isn't actually dead.
So when he then goes back into the house to get more shells so he can go to the field and kill the now thoroughly incapacitated burglar he commits murder and it isn't self defence.
