I find it kinda hard to call it self-defence when you're the aggressor.

Stand your ground law, that is at work in the Martin-Zimmerman case, can claim this to be so.  People claiming self-defense end up saying they acted preemptively, to defend themself or get "justice".  It is interesting to find out if more evil has been done in the name of "righteousness" than it had been by selfish reasoning.
