What's that, was one of the girls names "SaBella"?

That is when I would have started hitting, the guy showed tremendous restraint.

And this is a guy who has never been in any serious legal trouble before.
Maybe it happened this way.

Or maybe that's what your friend wants you to believe on how it went down.

In all likelihood it is the latter. Cops are more than prepared to arrest the woman, man or both in a domestic dispute.

Its so situation specific. There's a difference between spousal abuse type beating of women, which is obviously always wrong, and then smacking a random "woman" (of the type in that video) in the heat of some hostile situation. Not all women are the same, and neither are all men. Sometimes the use of force might be necessary to protect yourself or another.

What do cops do if they are being attacked by a female? Does the universal law of "don't hit a woman" apply to them as well? Do they have to wait for female backup to arrive?

I think that attitude may end future Mexican vacations, if that other issue didn't already.

Actually the laws make it substantially clear that you don't.

In after dickheads.

Bull.

If they are fighting one on one, and nothing serious is happening you try and break it up.

If you watch that video when he grabbed that girl and threw her off she had the girl on the ground and was slamming her head into the tile floor. That kind of crap leads to death if it goes to far. It honestly doesn't take that much to severely injure someone.

How many stories are there of someone getting punched, falling and hitting their head on the concrete and dying.

Absolutely justified.

Such bull yes you don't hit a girl if she's pushing you or getting in your face, but if she is potentially injuring someone you take reasonable force necessary to stop the situation.

He could have easily ran up and kicked her across the teeth when he threw her off, but he didn't.


Just to clear it up, I don't fight and haven't been in any kind of fight in 15 years this includes 5 years of being a doorman during university. I did get punched in the face about 2 years ago, but I laughed it off and the guy ran away. So I do have self control, but I agree with his actions 100% he didn't go crazy he separated them and got his girl out of there, he didn't even talk say much really.

You can't smack them down for being out of line. But you can use reasonable force to defend yourself. Pulling the girl off by her hair compared to stop her from slamming the other girls head into the ground seems reasonable.

Which trailer park do they live in? Did she dirty up his ball cap too?

here's how real girls fight in East Oakland. They can even overlook the fact that they are pregnant. Some guy(pimp?) comes in near the end and slaps some ho's around.

Yeah, except that's not what he said. Anyone who thinks "gender equality" is an acceptable reason to strike a woman is a complete ####ing idiot.
