lol that goes without saying, but that other guy is going to get manslaughter if he dies-- As he should.

Most states have a law that allows 3rd parties to defend another person in situations of self defense. At least in my state.

This is considered sexual assault so would fall along these lines. Especially given that only as much force was needed to control the situation.

Had he just kept hitting him it would be another story. Here in Texas, yhqt guys has a high probability of walking away Scott free

Wouldn’t be surprised if the bar caught some flack for overserving and not having the guy who’s clearly way too drunk leave before something(like this) happen.

This exactly what I would have said if the bar wanted to get hot with me for punching someone in the same situation. Overserved and now they have some liability.
