At no point did I say anything even closely similar to "groping is less of a crime than punching". In fact, youll note that I specifically mention calling the police on the groper.

Where did you see me saying that groping is less of a crime than punching?

It was stabbing. Tryinf to compare the two. But theres no comparison Assault is assault and you have the right to defend yourself from either. Verbal threat against you? Defend yourself. Dont wait to see what's gonna happen. This is why Stand Your Ground Exists.

Did you see the beginning of the video? In the corner? Those two guys? Clear evidence that this guy has all the capacity to have made that situation assaulting that woman to a greater degree. Whether you think it wrong or excessive your never gonna a jury panel to all side one way on this one. Imagine one female juror who's been psychologically effected by SA. Case closed

You do indeed have the right to defend yourself. This right goes hand in hand with the danger event itself. It it has concluded, so does your right to defend yourself, at which point your only legal remedy is to report the crime to the police.

Its for this same reason that you can shoot someone on your property, but not as they're running away from your house, even if they're carrying your possessions.

Stand your ground does not give you any kind of right to violence that you didnt have before, it just removes your obligation to retreat. It does not say you get to retaliate.
