DISCLAIMER:
Please understand the laws around the use of reasonable force in a self defense situation. One may never utilize more violence than the attacker intended upon the victim(s). ERA does not condone the use of violence unless within the boundaries of reasonable force in a self defence situation.

Case: R v Beckford 1988 AC130 – Lord Griffith on force in the question of self-defence.

“The common law has always recognised (..) the right of a person to protect himself from attack and to act in the defence of others, if necessary to inflict violence on another in so doing. If no more force is used than is reasonable to repel the attack, such force is not unlawful and no crime is committed”

“Furthermore, a man about to be attacked does not have to wait for his assailant to strike the first blow or fire the first shot, circumstances may justify a pre-emptive strike”.
