The article examines the moral implications of being armed while confronting protestors, referencing Kyle Rittenhouse's case in 2020 and a separate incident in Tallahassee. It distinguishes between legitimate self-defense and excessive confrontation, emphasizing the moral responsibility of individuals. The author argues that individuals have the right to defend themselves when unjustly attacked, yet raises concerns about the ethics of arming oneself in potentially confrontational situations. The discussion aims to navigate the complexities of self-defense rights versus moral considerations in public discourse.
As another example, if Bill engages protestors in a debate and the protestors start punching him, then he would have the moral right of self-defense.
These two examples raise the issue of whether it is ethical to go armed to confront protestors. I will focus on the moral issue.
