Hopefully, you would be able to flee or subdue your attacker, but worst-case scenario, absolutely.

I mean, what if the assailant is insane and not responsible for their actions, or perhaps they were motivated by extreme need or hunger or something else that society was ultimately responsible for?

I can't worry about the other person in that situation...if I am being attacked and my life in danger, it will suck to be that other person, no matter what their situation is.

When *is* killing for protection, either personal or societal, justified?

If there is an imminent threat to the community or a person...e.g. if you have killed 30 people and you have hostages and a sniper has a clean shot...sucks to be you.
