Was this right in school?

Question

I was pushed into the white board and i cut my jaw ,

so i hit the person flat out in the side of the head.

Was this fair??

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Justice wise YES, Law wise NO.
You could not argue self defence unless the person continued the attack after pushing you.
However, I would have done the same as you.

Answer 3

It depends on if the person who pushed you did it on purpose or not, if he did then yes it was fair, an eye for an eye, right?

Answer 4

Absolutely not, violence is not the answer, was it or could it have been an accident, you did not say.
Was there verbal interaction before the incident.
In this world we are too quick to use our physical strength and not our own intellect.

Answer 5

violence begets violence. I know you were angry and acted in anger. It's just once you start violent actions it just multiplies. It's best to just walk away and report what happened to your school counselor. Remember this the next time something like this happens.

Answer 6

eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth hehe ,sometimes its best to walk away but sometimes rage takes over and if they hurt you then your instinct would have been to hurt them back wouldnt it ?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

You should have just reported it to the police as an assaulted instead of replying with your fists... if you had done so you could have charged them with assault whereas now it will just look like tit for tat.

Answer 9

I'd have broken his ribs along with his beak

Answer 10

yes
