There's a difference between revenge and self-defense. The latter is
pretty liberal under the law, for example I believe a policeman who
shoots and kills someone who pointed something that looked like a
gun at him has done no wrong, even if it was a toy gun or made out
of a piece of soap. Revenge on the other hand is never allowed,
except maybe by the state and I'm not even sure about that.

I think you're the one whose logic is faulty. And your manners aren't
too good either.
