Even if a frigging midget walked up and tried to 'swing' at me, (this is a colloquialism that you foreigners undoubtedly don't know) I'd still punch them. It's a matter of self defence. You can't just give someone a bloody nose if they're intent on smacking you one, you put them down and don't give them a chance to get up and try again.
And to prevent someone like you misrepresenting this as an example 'violent behaviour', this is realistic and in line with the expectation of self-defence in the UK, and undoubtedly elsewhere.
I really don't think any UK jury would decide you used reasonable force punching a midget to the ground.
If they attack me? If they didn't, it'd be a case of "Hey, the victim's the one at fault. They were asking for it!" Tell me, what are your thoughts on who the guilty party is in cases of female-victim rape? I bet you wouldn't be singing the same song.
