Ron punches Tommy twice for no good reason. After the second punch, Tommy tackles Ron to
the ground and in so doing breaks Ron's arm. Tommy gets up, but Ron stays down, almost
motionless. Tommy is so angry, he kicks Ron in the ribs before leaving. Which of Tommy's
actions probably amount to self-defense?
A. The tackle
B. The kick
C. Both A and B
D. None of the above - ✔✔A. The tackle
The tackle seems likely to be deemed reasonable under the circumstances since, at the time,
Tommy was under attack. But, if Ron is down and no longer fighting, continuing to inflict
damage is unlikely to count as a reasonable action.

D. No, in this case, he should be called the Hamembezzler. - ✔✔B. No, in this case, he should
be called the Hamrobber.
