To you, I'm 'someone else.' does you acting upon someone else (Me) give me the right to use that act as the impetus to, then, act on someone else? If no, how are you justified in using my action as the impetus to act upon me? If yes, how am I not justified in using your act as the impetus to act on someone else? And what is the initial impetus that cause me to act in the first place? Just a few things to consider..."

Impetus

No. You're trying to frame my behavior as the impetus for your behavior... And if I applied that logic in reverse you wouldn't like it very much...

In the past you did a thing I did like so it's logical for me to come in here with a shotgun and test my aim... Right? See, if you FRAME the impetus for your behavior AS my behavior (Past or present) then it's easier for you to deny yourself guilt or culpability for your own PRESENT behavior."
