As far as I can tell, it seems Rep. Gohmert and similar want to have
the equivalent of "Stand-Your-Ground" laws on the Internet, but
unfortunately, they just don't realize that there's no way to tell
who you are standing against, so your intended self-protection could
easily be intentionally misdirected at someone else --tricking the
supposed defender into being an attacker.

In the best case "scenario" of a hacker facing off directly with a sysadmin, you'd what, break something on the VM the hacker's using? This guy must think that "destroying the hacker's computer" is the defender sending an energy pulse over the Internet causing just the hacker's computer to emit sparks and power off.
