Answers
Answer:
1) Discourtesy is not a legal offence, and it
does not excuse assault and battery.
2) If I am physically assaulted, it will permit me to
retaliate with reasonable violence.
3) No legal system could attempt to
legislate against bad manners or could sanction the use of violence.
4) I may be as uncivil as I may please
and the law will protect me against violent retaliation.
