That's the gist of justifications for violence based upon compromised moral agency. We observe that our ability to make sound decisions (including moral decisions) is severely impeded when we find ourselves victimized.
While we have no qualms with assigning legal repercussions to whatever infraction may be committed while that agency is reduced, we do generally tend to view it as a factor which modifies the moral desert of the subject in question (and the sentencing component of any conviction). Does a person who lashes out at being groped deserve moral condemnation, most say no.
-Another could be that jacking gropers in the face might lead to less groping and, at least..might halt a groping in progress. We generally tend to fall on the side of the line that this should not be done institutionally, and leave it up to intrepid private citizens directly and presently affected by a groping-in-progress.
