Unfortunately in this world, you simply can't defend yourself without risk of being prosecuted for violence also.
I don't believe in all this "restrain them" crap.
Sometimes the only way to stop them hitting you is knocking them out.
Once a person i know was getting attacked by a woman. He didn't believe in hitting women, but he tried to get her in an arm lock and hold on to her until she calmed down...
...and about 10 blokes that witnessed this took the bitches side and were like "aww howay man you wanna pick on a lass, try it on with me big man come on aal knock ye out like". -.-
I believe you should be allowed to fight back, but sometimes i think it's best to just take the beating then go to the police. Justice in this world is not existent.
Well it's common sense isn't it? But all this sanctity of humanity, holier than thou bullchat instigated by nutjobs (who have often had precisely zero experience of horrendous attacks) who have somehow duped societies around the globe into believing that everyone deserves "human rights"...
In a society of equilibrium, of perfect relations, this is brilliant. However, what they clearly lack, is a sense of the inhumane which is present from the varied social strata, the differing brain functionalities and the prejudices engrained through milennia of culture clashes.
It is inhumane to attack someone who has not provoked you. It is inhumane to steal, or break into someone's home. When an act such as those are committed, why is the perpetrator then allowed "human rights"? They clearly do not fit in with this false and pompous sense of civility you hippies have created for yourselves, so why do violent criminals get treated as humans.
We are bloody animals, just ones who are way over-rated, who think that eating with a knife and fork and flushing our dung down a toilet instead of throwing it at each others like Mackems makes us somehow superior, which re-inforces the prepostorous claim we give ourselves to use the Earth's resources. In prehistoric times, I'd wager a mesolithic man trying to attack a mesolithic woman would get his ancient butt broken by her tribe.
What's fair and right ends, ironically, with "human rights". A code for "betterment".
Any person here could fix a better staple rule-guide.
It's simple, you commit an inhumane act, as defined by unproked attack/theft, you forfeit your life to the mercy of the onlookers. How many burglars would think twice about slipping in through the window if they knew you would be justified in stabbing them. At the moment they are protected, it's backwards, it's stupid, it's wonderful civility...
