"Shaking a person is not an assult."

Are you sure about that? It is assault by most definitions. Provocation is only a defence for murder.

/But then again, what do I know. I read UK law 15 years ago. Ah well..

//As for the knowledge of local laws and lawyers, I'm sure you know better. But refer to one line in my previous post. If it's not clear, then let it be a guessing game.

"we have the right to stand up for ourselves"
check you did the right in the 1st place :)

This, I agree with you. 2 wrongs don't make a right. And Yada yada, as per what I said before.
