According to the self-defense provisions, which situation is NOT justified for using force?

Using force in self-defense measures is typically justified in situations where there is a clear and direct threat to oneself or others. The justification for self-defense hinges on the immediacy and severity of the threat faced.

Verbal insults or provocation do not constitute an imminent threat of physical harm. The law generally requires that the person perceiving the threat must be facing an actual physical danger to justify the use of force. While verbal insults may be distressing or inappropriate, they do not escalate to a level that would warrant a defensive response that involves using physical force.

In contrast, being threatened with imminent harm, an invasion of personal property, or an attempted robbery all involve direct threats to safety or property that are serious enough to warrant a defensive reaction. The law recognizes the right to protect oneself from harm in these scenarios, as they represent tangible and immediate dangers.
