If you put your hands on me I should be able to do enough to get your hands off of me without some sort of Old Testament, over-the-top, non-proportional vengence.
If you punch me in the arm I can put you in hospital? Is that how it should work?
A lawyer can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that in Canada you are allowed to defend yourself to the point where the other person is no longer a threat.
The initial post I quoted suggested that if someone "puts their hands on you" that you can "beat the crap out of them". If he had suggested that if someone "puts their hands on you" that you can do enough to stop them I could understand. But it seemed to me that he was suggesting much more than that. Is that what you're suggesting?
