Heck I laughed at this.
If it's an act of self defense, it's justified. That does get murky when we're talking about people who can make decisions directly affecting you, but frankly just punching him in the face isn't going to change anything. Once you realize that, you realize just what one would have to advocate to ACTUALLY defend one's self from their political machinations.
Or DO they? I've still got at least a small level of faith that the 3 branches of government will be enough to protect minorities from truly outrageous things. If it isn't... well then we'll see.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
