Lesson Overview

3.28 – The Difference Between Self-Defense and Retaliation: Self-defense means stopping danger; retaliation means trying to get even. The line between them can be thin, but the consequences are huge. If you keep fighting after the threat is gone, the law may see you as the aggressor. Self-defense is about safety, not payback. The best way to protect yourself is to use only the force needed to escape, not to punish. Police and courts look at timing, intent, and how far things went. Retaliation often comes from pride, while self-defense comes from fear or necessity. Knowing the difference helps you make smarter choices in the heat of the moment. The goal isn’t to win—it’s to walk away alive, safe, and free of charges. Peace is always the strongest defense.
