What if you know someone ("perpetrator")has done harm to another ("victim")? The feelings of wanting to defend the victim can be a powerful motivator to react in an aggressive way toward the perpetrator. Is that reaction/confrontation an act of violence or a justified use of force? Personally, I have a problem with "bullies" and find myself always sticking up for people when they have been wronged in some way. Taking on the role of defender is really shaky ground to be on and at times has caused me much grief. I enjoyed reading this and also during discussions in class, but one perspective is not covered.
