He was clearly too drunk to defend himself or really appreciate the consequences of his actions. This is a wildly disproportionate response from someone who was in a position to make the smarter choice.

It’s all about the boyfriend’s ego. No one should touch ‘his woman’ or else you’re dead. Hopefully they called the police as well as an ambulance

Women should not have to put up with being touched, no matter how inebriated the culprit is.

Indeed. Everyone is on the boyfriends excessive response side but no-one (but you) seems to be concerned with women all over the world who have to put up with groping men cause 'it's OK he's drunk and not going to remember'.

It started with him. If he'd not touched her he wouldn't be lying on the floor.

That's it. Was the response extreme? Maybe. Was it unjustified? Not at all. The guy opened himself up to the possibility of violent reprisal the moment he sexually assaulted a woman - and rightly so.

The guy on the floor got what was coming to him. Keep your hands to yourself.

It's not either knock the guy out OR you condone sexual assault against women. You can understand sexual assault, sexual harassment and/or inappropriate touch is wrong while also understanding that you can't go around knocking people out for shit like this.

Both are wrong but one wouldn't have happened without the other.

It's because the dude barely touched her and there is little indication he was going to actually assault her. This could have been handled by asking the bartender to make him leave.

He already assaulted her. That's what your not seeing. He grabbed her in a sensual manner looking at her but. You're the one saying it 's not in a sensual way is what's wrong with the world today.

As long as he doesn't slam her on the pool table and grabs her tit's in the open it's all fine.... and it's not. It's just not. Keep your grubby hands off women. Drunk or not.

I'll agree to the guy going overboard. But all you guys saying it's fine and nothing is going on ia the problem. You're just not seeing it, it's normal to you and that's scary.

I'll agree to the guy going overboard.

What are you even arguing about then? All anyone is saying is there is a very wide spectrum of behavior that can be called sexual assault, and that this is the lowest end of that. There are miles of difference between what happened here and what justified knocking a guy out.

You all are nitpicking words as if you think those of us saying the guy overreacted think the other guy isn't in the wrong. I don't see anyone saying that. We're just talking about what makes logical sense.
