“No man may initiate the use of physical force against others. No man-or group or society or government-has the right to assume the role of a criminal and initiate the use of physical compulsion against any man. Men have the right to use physical force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. The ethical principle involved is simple and clear-cut: it is the difference between murder and self-defense.”
![“[A] person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if: (1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself.” quote by Lisa Bloom](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b08/lisa-bloom-47846_death_a-person-is-justified-in-the-use-of-dead_1731672.jpg)
