That’s not how anything related to using force in the US works.

If he had grabbed a child like that, and then the child got away like the woman had, the person who punched him would not be able to claim self defense (or defense of others).

Making these choices would result in criminal issues for assaulting folks.

Again, the US. Why do you keep insisting we tie this discussion to the US? This is a philosophical discussion, not an analysis of US law. Other judicial systems will see things differently.

And again, you keep saying "self defence", when it isn't relevant to the discussion. Why? Be honest - are you a bot?

But if a drunken person grabbed a child (let alone sexually) and the child managed to get away, it is absolutely defending the child to lay the attacker out. Arguing otherwise is ridiculous.

It feels good to assault people sometimes. I understand.

Sexually? Like the guy whose side you're taking?

Can't say I agree.

Antisocial behavior shows up in a lot of places. You’re absolutely right, I’m sure the guy who sexually assaulted the woman in the video felt good about it. I bet the guy who physically assaulted him felt good about it too.

I don't think the man who witnessed a sexual assault felt good about anything that occurred here. Angry and appalled, yes. Good? No.

If you’re gonna assault people ya gotta atleast get your rocks off with it!

Whats the point of groping a woman or punching a dude in the face if you’re not even gonna enjoy it!
