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?
I’m not sure I can agree than a justifiable action isn’t of necessity a good action, but let’s take that as read, since ‘justifiable’ means that something can be show to be right and reasonable. But again, you’re focusing on the consequences of the behaviour, not the behaviour itself.
Are you now saying that the riots in the summer of 2020 can be justified?
