>> The Librtarian platform does not require anyone to use excessive force in self-defense. Thank you, that clears it up… not at all, actually… does or does not the libertarian platform *define* 'excessive force'? if so, how does it? if not, does that mean, to libertarians, excessive force doesn't exist? (I think it's the 'does not require' that's throwing me.. how can one require the use of excessive force? "sorry, you're going to jail, bub.. you didn't smack that burglar too hard"… 🙂
