If your neigbbor steals your wife, do you let all women who were involved in crimes out of jail in order to get her back? Seems like thats exactly where you are.

my neighbor's dog bites me in my yard, I don't destroy my neighbor's house. That wouldn't be "proportional". Dose that make any sense to you Nadine? Your "definition" is apologist BS. What if your neighbor has rented his downstairs apartment to mobsters who do drug deals in the front yard, and are shooting at you because they want to take over your property? Last week, they shot your dog and have promised to come after you. The neighbor too is terrorized by them, so he can't evict them, and the police won't come to your bad neighborhood. If you have the strength, you will gather your friends and fight it out with these thugs before they kill any more of you and yours. If your neighbors house gets damaged, that's too bad. You are not going to volunteer to die to keep his lawn neat. Much better analogy.
