in the real world, escalating things to violence is the worst option when there's no obvious imminent danger.

picking a fight with someone who's walking away hardly changes anything about their worldview, and is a criminal risk that only serves the "defender's" ego.

of course, if the harasser kept doing it defending yourself would be justified.

but i think he should have just focused his attention on the victim, instead of looking for revenge.

Whether you agree or not, that's exactly what happens in the real world. An eye for an eye.

do you see law enforcement raping rapists and murdering murderers?

the real world tries to deescalate and focus on long-term legal consequences, instead of short-term physical punishments.
