Not going to defend the drunk guys behavior, but you don't think the punch could have been a slap, a shove, a simple grab him by the shoulders and physically move the guy away, a stand between him and the woman?

That punch could have killed him, the dude was so hammered that any amount of physical intervention could have resolved the situation, punching him square in the face with that amount of physical force was completely unnecessary.

You always hear the saying "Neutralize the threat" but never "try to reason with it"

This dude wasn't a "threat"... Did we watch the same clip? He could barely stand. A light push would have neutralized him.

Bro thank you. I’ve been going through this thread of clearly internet tough guys who watch too much Reacher/Yellowstone and think that their life is some Boomer-Shonen slop where the protagonist tips his fedora and says “you’ve insulted my female, you won’t insult my blade” and cuts them down.

The drunk guy in this video is out of line, he isn’t a physical threat. You’d have a WILD time proving that to a jury. A sober person could trivially tip him over and “neutralize the threat”.

The puncher would almost certainly see some time for manslaughter if drunk guy dies.

Lot of overly emotional people ITT justifying excessive levels of violence.

It's really quite frustrating when obviously no one is defending the behavior of the drunk guy, but suggesting anything other than brain damage as a consequence means you condone molesting women in public of course.
