I understand the emotion but the better option is to stop the aggressor with the minimum amount of force required to ensure he is stopped. No need to go full Punisher and open yourelf up to lawsuits.

If you're going to get in a fight with a violent aggressor it's best to end it as quickly as possible to minimize risk to yourself and others. Going for the minimum and misjudging that is going to leave you open to harm and potential death. You don't owe the aggressor anything. Their actions created the situation not you.

So long as you don't go full objectivist zizian psycho about it this usually pretty reasonable.

The minimum amount of force is necessarily debilitating.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

No, I agree. A good, hard kick to the face with my steel toed boots, then ask questions.
