How am I missing what? Obviously he punched the one who was trying to intervene. Then he was grappling with the one in the black shirt.

I don't have the expertise of everyone else in this discussion, but I'd think that if he thought someone was reaching for his gun, he would try to prevent that instead of throwing a haymaker.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Geez, I don't know. She was resisting and her friend was trying to steal his gun. Who knows what she was up to? The bitch might have had an AIDS needle stuck in her hair and he was pulling on that. He would have been justified in shooting her based on that alone.
