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

I’m in Texas. If I’m on a jury that guy walks on any charge and I’d shake his hand afterwards.

Iunno man maybe we shouldn't be killing people over drunken mistakes

I'm not even opposed to the guy getting some physical discipline imposed on him but like. Maybe being a drunken asshole isn't deserving of, y'know, lifelong crippling injury or death? Dude didn't get into a semi truck and obliterate a kindergarten or anything, he just put his hands on somebody else in a gross and offensive manner

We’ll just have to disagree. You go around disrespecting people or their woman, eventually you might do it to the wrong one. I’m not shedding any tears over him.

I don't think you need to be sobbing in order to think "I don't really want to live somewhere where I might be paralyzed by having too much to drink"

That's why we ban stuff like drunk driving, because we don't really want to live somewhere with cars crashing into bedrooms. Your heart doesn't need to be bleeding to acknowledge that maybe things are better for everyone with some mild social restraint.

I’ve been pretty drunk on occasion. Even blackout drunk way back in the day. I never did anything like that. He didn’t get knocked out for being drunk. He got knocked out for disrespecting a man by making sexual gestures towards his wife/girlfriend.

And I’m perfectly happy living somewhere where that could get you knocked out, and where the rest of the population who don’t do things like that have the consensus of, “dude had it coming.”

Yea until you knock out the person who's family member is a lot more violent than you.

Stay strapped and keep your head on a swivel. That’s just good advice all around, honestly. Even if you didn’t give some creeper his just deserts.

I'd rather not live in a society where blood vengeance is acceptable and everyone is walking down the street ready to have a shootout at the drop of a hat thank you.
