    It actually is, there’s a legal concept for fighting words that basically acknowledges you can’t prosecute someone for getting provoked when the other guy was very obviously trying to provoke them.

      On that note:

      If you can’t be prosecuted, it’s automatically a great idea.

      Rude people should always be killed when there’s a valid legal pathway to doing so. No need to take a picture of the guy to post online or print and post on telephone poles, no need to tell your boss or call the cops - just meet the offender’s level of aggression up to and including violent acts that may lead to death.

      Stop thinking, de-escalating, destressing: kill. They were mean first!

        If you matching the other’s violence means you could kill him, it means he could’ve just as easily killed you first.

        If you don’t defend yourself in a situation where you could just die, you’re incredibly stupid.
