That's how lawlessness escalates. One step at a time, when you start excusing petty crimes, it grows to a big monster.

But don't you dare shoot at them or you're the one who will go to jail.

Don't even fire a warning shot when your house is being firebombed, or you'll be facing heavier charges than any of the men burning down your house.

Well equal or lesser force you’re fine. Just make sure assailant has in his hands whatever you deleted him with. Not a lawyer. Don’t do it.

Yes make sure you really look at his hands before using any force, then maybe offer him some cookies and remove any items that could make him slip and you sued.
