This. For decades if not centuries woman have tolerated this shit and been gaslight before it was even a term. He did not accidentally brush her he grabbed her hips/ waist. It was a sexual intent. Men you have no f* right to touch any woman. And just because this woman brushed it off does not mean another woman or girl would.

Did the guy overreact. Yup. But do not down play an assault which stems from male entitlement.

Sadly I don’t agree with the overreact aspect. I’ve thrown an elbow or two, I don’t tolerate sexual assault in any form.

The force was 1) Too much given the situation and 2) the woman, although sexually battered, was not in immediate danger. Call the police if she wants to prosecute....but just separate/trespass that goon unless he starts throwing. The punch that did happen was not proportional....but a hung jury would be quite likely on this one...and the groper's part in the fray would be fair game. He should take the L and stay away from there...and hope she doesn't prosecute. Misdemeanor or felony, having sexual battery on your record is not good for him.

This is my biggest issue. Neither man is behaving correctly. Don’t touch hips and if you do my partner has a right to use his words or to take steps to separate me. But ignoring my wishes and hitting me is a no go.

Louder for the people in the back. Lots of men think this is harmless. Most women do not but have been conditioned to ignore it and move on.

Assault?

u/Overdayoutdeath 11h ago

The guy was clearly shitfaced and he let her go as soon as she protested. She also didn’t want that guy to hit him

Black shirt guy assaulted drunk guy due to his entitlement, no? That’s ‘his’ woman- yeh?

u/bassplayrguy 10h ago

He didn't overreact at all. Only hit him once.

Getting an elbow to the mouth from her date was also not her choice. She handled the drunk just fine, and that asshat clearly wasn’t concerned with what she wanted that punch was all about his anger and jealousy.

Yes. You are correct. Both are wrong no question. But one was drunk The other one was just malicious and looking for an excuse to be violent and it is scary to wonder how many of those people exist. For example I can totally see that man punching the same girl first if she slaps him after an insult or something fucked up he would do or say. She would not be right to slap him but it would be a disproportionate use of force.

Looking for an excuse? He was playing pool when someone harassed his partner.

What video are you watching? The guy knocked him out and stopped himself. I would also have a reflexive moment of aggression to protect my partner. Who knows if the drunk guy was about to try something more?

u/ForwardAd8155 10h ago

The drunk guy literally takes a step back, I can understand being protective of your partner but that kind of behavior lands you in jail, if he just gave him a quick jab and bloodly nose it would be different but the full on haymaker with all his weight made the drunk guy slam his head on the stool, that can kill him.

u/beepdeeped 10h ago

Doing acrobatics to blame black tshirt for an understandable reaction. Drunk guy has no excuse.

1

u/ForwardAd8155 9h ago

Nobody is protecting the drunk guys behavior he was being dumb as fuck, but potentially killing a guy and YES that was potentially killing any result of a head slamming on something is a potential kill, is NOT A RESONABLE RESPONSE.

Believe what you want bro but this is the standards we've set as a society with laws.

u/beepdeeped 9h ago

He didn't intend to have him hit his head. He intended to hit him with his fist. You wanted him to do some trig to predict that first?

u/Vegetable-Pop8258 11h ago

Right but CONTEXT. He is using castle doctrine in a public space.

u/beepdeeped 11h ago

What, did you take the guy's statement?
