Yeah my spell check is and always is off - and the print on my phone screen is about 1 mm - so a mistake does get through occasionally.
In your original scenario - using a brick to stove in someone' s skull to force them to quit abusing a kid certainly seems severe - if not simply messy and distasteful. Of course your scenario is not well enough detailed to provide an actual answer.
Let' s clean it up. Supposing it was the ONLY avenue open to you ( unlikely as that is - it would be a dedicated kiddie diddler who would keep at abusing a kid once found by an objecting adult) to prevent harm to the kid - then it would be JUSTIFIABLE. Good? No - still bad. I don' t think it would be good for a kid to go through the trama of seeing ANYONE'S head caved in with a brick. While not a brick - I did once see a co- worker head stoved in by a wrench he was using on a 20 ton punch press trying to jog it - and he tripped the engagement - spinning the 3 foot long wrench at about 200 rpm.... It wasn' t pretty - and unsuitable for younger viewers...
So recap - let' s not confuse good with justifiable.
Fair enough?
