Why do some people get punished for self defense?

It’s absolutely ridiculous! Like if someone comes after you with a knife, what are you supposed to do, just stand there and let that person stab you 🤬? If my life’s in danger, I’m going to defend myself whether it’s legal or not.
Like if I was a kid and I was in school, I’d rather defend myself and get expelled than end up in the hospital.

Self defense is a basic human right regardless. A person punishing someone for self defense is to be a capital crime. Pacifism is useless.
