Do you really think most people are hero arseholes? No the vast majority are cases where they saw someone coming at them in the dark and grabbed the cricket bat and hit them 2 or 3 times or pushed them down the stairs some purposely let the dog out.
To add, this topic has come up before on here and seeing how many people view 'self defence' as a licence to enact vengeance on someone who has threatened them, I do not doubt that there are 60 people in the NSW prison system who feel that they have been unjustly punished for 'defending themselves'.
