When is it ok to fight back? Will the court judge me harshly if I hurt them bad?

When is it confirmed that the other party is engage in a fight with me? Suppose they push me, does that imply they are terrorizing me. Does this warrant a reaction? If so, how far can I hurt them to not be blamed? Suppose I cut off some of their meat, and break their arms? I can say it was in self-defense?

@TuringEquivalent,

You don't say what jurisdiction you live in, (the nation and/or state) so it is very hard to give a sensible answer. It may be that you imagine that everybody reading Able2know lives in the USA, but even then the states have their own laws. However, most civilised countries allow self-defence (or "defense" if you prefer). To avoid getting charged yourself, your response has to be proportional to the danger you (genuinely) feel yourself to be in. If someone "pushes" you, you should move out of their reach, and keep far enough away so that they cannot push you again. Macho ideas notwithstanding, you do not have a free pass to cut their ears off, or break one or more of their limbs, or kill them. If you genuinely believed your life, or someone elses, was in danger you could possibly disable or even kill them but in such a case you would be looking at a police investigation and probably a court case. Self defence is OK. Retaliation is not.

Call the police to protect you.

You are entitled to defend yourself only to the extent you feel threatened.

Posting here makes the self defense argument hard to sustain. It appears you are planning to hurt them if given provocation. One could argue you provoked them so you could pretend you are responding.

Yeah!
If in doubt, ask Kitty Genovese, Nicole Brown Simpson, Ron Goldman or Reginald Denny.

This charmer poured out a torrent of seriously sick filth on another thread (about "abstract math", check it out in his posting history). I think he's just a sad fantasist jerking off over gun and knife magazines in a dank basement.

I protest your posting material in such bad taste as the perverted last 3 lines
of your Urban Dictionary quote; that 's impolite to offend the sensibilities of your fellow members hereof.

We did not do that to U!

Only more evidence of your aggressive nature Turing. Perhaps the problem is not with others. It might be that you are intolerable to be around.
