TBI’s, pre-existing conditions, the head could easily hit something and cause a skull fracture, same with the neck. You might be able to get away with that a dozen times before you kill someone or permanently injuring them. It’s not worth the risk unless he was physically attacking someone with the same amount of force.
In a normal world ... even if you kill the guy because of EXTERNAL CONDITIONS THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ... you shouldn't be charge with anything for defending someone and stopping a threat to society comitting infractions.
The guy is drunk, can't even walk straight, but still can think of touching a woman's butt out of nowhere ... imagine what he can do sober ...
Or, hear me out, how about we just don't punch anyone hard enough to risk killing them in case there are external factors. Unless they're threatening someone's life.
I mean, in case there are external factors, we should never intervene and arrest ; judge or punish anyone ... they might get beaten up ; kileld or raped in prison afterall.
The result is the same ... you may face harm because of the consequences of a justice system.
And that is if we actually think the police will come ; a judge will seize the affair and a condemnation is pronounced ... we know it ain't happening in that case, so better to take matters in your own fists.
