Absolutely, but a much much lower risk than a stab. Since we are reasoning on the morals and not from a purely rhetorical point of view, we can’t consider them the same.
Also that’s why I specifically said “slapping” in my example. Slapping is still physical violence, it’s still an attack, but it’s an example of something that doesn’t warrant a potentially fatal response.

Punching someone also has the risk of being fatal.

“Punching someone in the head can be just as fatal as stabbing.”
I’m genuinely surprised people don’t know this.

Did he go for the head? I haven’t seen any video or articles mentioning the intended target.
