If the reaction is disproportional (like in this case), you stop being right even if you were initially right.

That some messed up morality. If you are right you are right.

Now what you do in reaction might be legally and morally wrong and maybe you need to be punished for that. But that doesn't negate the injustice you suffered. Two wrongs make... two wrongs. One does not negate the other.
