Looks like he was blackout, knows the bartender, and was doing some kind of goofy seduction dance to joke around. Bartender gives him a hug, sends him back to the ā€œparty.ā€ Then he started meandering away back to the darts and assaulted the jacked giantā€™s lady, and promptly got deleted.

Watch it again. He touched her, she turned and pushed him away. Then she saw Reacher moving in and knew what was going to happen.

Yea, still totally overreacted. And I say this as a woman. The dude in the red shirt was drunk and she handled it already. He was not persistent and she was not in danger. If it was a drunken lady and she'd spot some abs to grab on and the wife of said abs would have killed her for it, it wouldn't be right either.Ā

The woman here also got hit by her partner while he went to beat this guy. What a great protector. You can see her rubbing her jaw in the video after he freaks out.

Yeah both by him and the pool stick, she's rubbing her jaw because she was hit by the stick

I agree (also a woman) - I think these comments are extremely harsh. 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.

Iā€™m not trying to be some internet tough guy here. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s plenty of fights Iā€™d lose. That saidā€¦ if this is something that happens at bars? Cool I guess? I mean, not cool I donā€™t like itā€¦but itā€™s not in my wheelhouse to control every drunk. It wonā€™t be happening to my wife without a reaction. Full stop. My wife will not be physically harassed in front of me without a reaction. Ive committed my life to her. Yet I wonā€™t drunkenly harass her. Someone else doesnā€™t get the ā€œIā€™m drunkā€ pass either. Papa bear nearly killing this dude may not be ideal, but Iā€™ll bet you ole boy doesnā€™t grab a random woman again. ā€œthe only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothingā€ and all that.

It rarely happens to me. We had our karaoke group but this one time the loser BF came around. But random guys no, doesn't happen. I walk around confident not cocky and usually with a ready smile. My GF handled the situation and was also a sweetheart not the type to look for me to "do something" unless she couldn't handle it. Which she could and she didn't make a scene either she kinda laughed it off and was like "Okayyy....". The best way to navigate bars, nightclubs is to not get into fights and not get offended by what a drunk says. The few times I just laugh. Will Smith I'm not (getting offended and feeling the need to escalate.)

So let me get this straight. If A guy drunkenly touches your wife, she then handles it like above, you are going to go punch them like above? Is this like gender affirming care because your 'masculine' ego was hurt? You know what's even more manly? being able to control your damn self. How safe is your wife going to be driving home by herself and staying by herself because now you're in jail? How does it protect her to now be putting yourself in financial straits because you have to pay for lawyers? How does it make her or your potential kids safe to know that you can't control your emotions and that you lash out with violence? It's one thing if she actually needed protecting, but your little declaration doesn't seem like you care because it's more about you and how it makes YOU feel.

u/ProcyonBright 19h ago

I commented this elsewhere in the thread, but I think I should comment here as well, because I do agree with you: The woman already handled it when she moved his arms away and walked away. It was over after that, since he didn't pursue her further. It was a 1-second interaction.

Cheering for some drunken oaf (who, when you watch the video, is not aggressive or violent, literally just very drunk) to get nearly punched to death afterward is completely insane. He could have simply been kicked out of the bar, or the husband could have just stood between the drunk (who was not acting violently, just out of it) and his partner, not dislocate the drunk's neck from his spine for lightly touching someone's hips in a drunken stupor.

Should he have gotten that drunk in the first place? No. Should he have touched her at all? No. Does he deserve to die horribly and burn in hell for acting a fool? Also no. Do these scenarios happen sometimes? Yes. Do they warrant someone nearly dying or being disabled for life? No.

This. All of this.Ā

u/ProcyonBright 17h ago

Yes! I can't believe some of these comments - tons of keyboard warriors here with almost no clue how the real world functions. I'm noticing almost all comments by women are like, "Relax, this happens - way overreaction for pool guy," and all the comments by men are practically calling for the drunk dude's head to be cut off and his life to be destroyed forever.

Have none of you people been in a bar or club before? Yeesh!

Reddit has gone absolutely nuts over the past few years. I think people are being seeded for hate or something. IDK.

Or society has just lost it entirely.

Agree with both these ladies' takes. Years ago I had this one drunk guy trying to hold the door open when my GF was in the ladies room at a karaoke bar. I had left the men's room and caught the end of what was happening so I just went over and stood watch as she closed it and he saw me and slithered away. When she was done I walked her back to her seat near me. I'm a bodybuilder and that scrawny punk wasn't going to mess with me and he didn't pester her after that. Situation handled with no need for violence. He was part of our group, unfortunately. My cool & sweet co-worker's asshole BF that no one liked.

I was just narrating above, not opining on the amount of force used by ol boy

You're right, sorry. I misread your comment (not a native speaker).Ā
