In the Criminal Code of 1926, there was a most stupid Article 139--- "on the limits of necessary self-defense" ---according to which you had the right to unsheath your knife only after the criminal's knife was hovering over you.
And you could stab him only after he had stabbed you.

Otherwise, you would be the one put on trial.

This fear of exceeding the measure of necessary self-defense led to total spinelessnes as a national characteristic.
