exactly Vicky! Alot more of that is needed too. People can't really complain about excessive self defense force used against them, what's excessive? Are you supposed to, in the heat of the moment while being attacked, stop and access just how much force you should use to defend yourself? If you don't want excessive self defense used against you, don't attack anyone, it's pretty simple.
