>If it is inherently evil, then using it under any condition should be condemned.

Perhaps the legal system is misguided to consider violence in self defense different from unprovoked violence?




No, but I do not consider violence inherently evil either.

As a matter of fact it seems most people do not consider violence inherently evil, it is unjustifiably glorified in western culture I'd say, by western I mean American, by American I mean US.
