Do not confuse self defense with abuse.
What we see in the image is disproportionate retaliation. Not self defense.
Self defense: interrupting or de-escalating a threat with equal, proportionate force, due to a reasonable fear of harm, injury or death to yourself, a loved one, or damage to your property.
Retaliation: Escalating a situation by harming someone who has harmed you, after the perceived threat is over. Revenge. Inappropriate use of force.
