Homicide in a rage isn't prosecuted as first degree murder, but can still be a capitol offense in some states if you commit another federal offense in the same act. (killing someone while robbing a bank). Not a lawyer though, so I could very easily be completely wrong. Interesting article, and very well written. I'll be back! Depends on what you do.

Drop kicking your poodle off a bridge, for example, what does the law say about beating your attacker into a bloody pulp during a fit of poodle death rage?

I'm speaking purely from a legal standpoint. It would be difficult to justify hitting someone who was verbally assaulting UNLESS he had entered your personal space (which is generally considered the radius of your extended arm) and you feel sufficiently threatened. I don't disagree that psychological and verbal violence hurts. It clearly does, but at the same time, it really depends on the situation. It's preferred you meet with equal force or attempt to diffuse. @Wayne K

Physical violence is more clear and provable, but there are people for whom a cutting emotional comment hurts more than a punch, and they're less "protected". That said, I think victims of a verbal attack are decently justified in physical defense. I guess it's all gray areas, but still.
