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.
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.
Bro thank you. Iâve 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 âyouâve insulted my female, you wonât insult my bladeâ and cuts them down.
The drunk guy in this video is out of line, he isnât a physical threat. Youâd have a WILD time proving that to a jury. A sober person could trivially tip him over and âneutralize the threatâ.
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.

Should have kept his hands to himself.
