You put someone in a position to need to defend themselves that's all on you. I'm not suggesting the law agrees with me, but if it doesn't its rediculous. If some random walks up to me and starts punching me, why should I have to only fight back at the level at which I've been attacked. It's stupid logic that puts victim in a position where they feel like they have to continue and see how far their attacker takes things before they can end a situation. I have to wait for someone who's attacking me to try and knock me out before I can do the same? Ridiculous, if someone attacks you unprovoked and you put them down to whatever level you needed to to feel safe and secure that they wouldn't hurt you anymore I say good for you.

Situation 1: you start swinging at a person, they give you a shot in the chops knocking you to the ground, you discontinue your attack. This is fine.
