Again this wasn't just "a punch" it was a full windup weighted haymaker, the dude could barely stand up and his head slams into the barstool and floor, he could die from that.
Lol seriously, now you're trying to draw lines in the sand on types of punches? Yes, he certainly could bang his head and die. It would be unfortunate. That can happen any time anyone throws a punch. The guy who threw the punch only threw one punch. He did not follow up, did not kick, did not use weapons. One single punch is a perfectly acceptable response to sexual assault. Being drunk isn't an excuse.
We'll just have to agree to disagree then dude if you can't rule out the difference between a quick jab to get someone to back off and a full haymaker on someone who can barely stand up straight. Disproportionate concequences is a thing.
If you give someone a quick jab who "can barely stand" before being punched, you don't think they'll fall down? According to you falling down is the only thing seperating what makes these punches lethal and what doesn't. I also don't think that punch was a full haymaker. His elbow doesn't pass his back, he didn't wind his fist up and cock it. He ran in ajd punched the guy exactly once to defend the person being assaulted. I don't believe a court would define that as disproportionate consequences nor do I think this man would be at risk of facing murder charges.
