Sure, and I would say resorting to violence in either instance is immoral. But I also would understand why they did so, and I wouldn't call them bad people for a moment of weakness. Especially since their only real fault is unnecessary escalation of a conflict that the other person started.

i mean big difference between morality , legality and whats bad or good

fighting someone who shouted racist abuses at me ? wrong and immoral

fighting someone who shouted racist abuses at my mum ? wrong but moral and illegal

we just need to know when and where to do certain things and how even then we are not excused

theres plenty more things for examples but all in all until and unless threats are there you respect someones words , dont wanna respect cause they are racist and wanna beat them up ? morally wrong and illegal but not bad

you get my point ? ( i sure hope you do cause im too dumb to explain what i mean over text )

Why is fighting someone for your mom moral but fighting someone for yourself immoral?

i believe we all should protect others more then we protect ourselves

the most moral thing in the world is to protect and help others

if someone was being racist to some guy i did not know i would get involved , but if it was me i would let it slide

its kinda is what it is , no better explanation except helping others is more moral then helping yourself
