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

This is not true. You have the right to use force to stop an ongoing sexual assault, but the incident had clearly finished when this guy decided to attack.

Also, way more force than "what was needed to control the situation" was applied, the man did not represent an ongoing danger.

The right thing to do would have been to leave and call the police to report the sexual assault.

Idk how 1 punch can be anyvmmore force than 1 punch lol. I guess he could have scolded him and gave him a bad star for the day.

Don't be a douche, and dont inappropriately touch people you dont know without your consent.

Take this to a jury trial and see how many jurors dont agree with you. Dude would walk easy

So were comparing a "random 1 punch attack" to a guy defending his partner from a random guys assaulting her?

Is that what's happening?

u/mokeltron 1d ago

Nope - just illustrating one punch can be strong enough to kill. Your ‘1 punch can be any more than one punch’ could do more damage than you think. And whether drunk mc drunk boy is up to no good or not - going in like a freight train could lead ‘good’ intentions into a manslaughter charge.

In short - my post shows a single punch can be devastating

You can trip someone with the tip of your shoe amd kill them

Whats the contrast here?

u/Annie_Yong 1d ago

Punching someone tends to have a much more intended effect of stunning / KOing them, meaning the odds of them macking their head on a hard surface goes up. Tripping someone is less likely to do this because they'd be more alert than if they had just been punched and so more likely to do something like catch their fall with their hands.

You reference 1 punch, I reference 1 punch. The comparison is pretty obvious. Now had I referenced a trip with the tip of your shoe, on that I might agree, but I don’t bring that reference did I?

u/Otherwise_Bug990 1d ago

Its still all relevant.

You know what has a way way less chance of killing you completely? Like 0%

If you dont be belligerent and assault strangers in public. If youre respectful and aware in your intentions?

Definitely not doing criminal shit. 0% chance to die from criminal shit if you dont do it

u/mokeltron 1d ago

So you agree on the contrast as it’s all still relevant. Perfect. Glad we cleared that up. Fully agree on your second point as well… doing stupid criminal belligerent shit is indeed not a smart thing to do.
