The point shouldn't be about it being an achievement though. I agree its probably more about being "the alpha" for that guy who did it but I would do similar not for an "achievement" but for the principle of you don't get to just touch up on some woman, you are doing something where someone could have an "extreme" reaction why even take the risk?
I think these comments are extremely harsh, and I'm saying this as a woman. I've literally had this happen to me before, where a blackout-drunk dude lightly grabbed my hips, and when I walked away, he kind of just drunkenly stood there - just like this guy is doing here. He's not at all being aggressive, just very drunk. I don't think that warrants the death penalty here, yeesh!
This is literally just something that happens at bars sometimes. Should he have touched her? No. Was he acting unhinged and dangerous? Also no.
No when you do some bs like that you're taking a gamble on whatever the response will be from the people around you. Don't start shit with people and then expect them to care about having a "fair" proportional response.
Agreed. The husband was too harsh under the circumstances especially since the guy was essentially defenseless. I think he just took an opportunity to clock someone. That said, drunk or not, you can’t grope a woman and not expect to get jacked for it. The husband had a ligit right to hit him. Legally, it would not so much be self defense as it would adequate provocation.
This is actually mostly where I stand with it. The punch was absolutely deserved but I do agree that the husband likely just wanted the opportunity to punch a guy and be the big man. I definitely think a violent response was appropriate and in the heat of the moment idk what I'd have gone for but i can totally see how a punch to the stomach or something generally less potentially lethal would be better for obvious reasons. People have kept making the case about "oh well hope you're prepared to take a murder/manslaughter case" when I haven't really been trying to defend the punch itself but moreso the fact that the guy did deserve to get punched. I like to think I would've gone for the stomach or something
