So far, over my adult life I have been in a few situations where someone close to me, and even one case of a stranger, was being attacked. In these cases I saw enough that I was totally satisfied that I made the right choice to protect the attacked and put a stop to it as quickly as I possibly could. That is my instinct and that is the way I want it to be and think it should be.
I do know a couple of "absolute radical pacifists", as I describe them, who say they would not use violence no matter what was at stake but that is an unacceptable concept to me.
