Do u believe it's ok for a man to hit a woman "if" it's self defense ? 🥊

Now some of you may have already seen this video right here recently. Its sad right ? So many people out here giving in to that negative energy that I was talking about before. And some are so sucked in that they cannot help but be this way.
What we have here are two issues that should and could be addressed. One here we have an African American male.
Second we have a Caucasian [b]Latina female. Ok here we go again. You have gender and then you have race.
In this video you see the woman actually hitting the man first. He is the employee, she is the customer. What do you think ?
Did he have a right to hit this woman back ? Or should he have just reported her to the authorities instead. Now you all know how I feel about domestic violence. I do not think it is fine for a man to hit a woman. But I do realize that you can't just run up to people and start attacking them out of nowhere for no reason at all. Some people will hurt you, do you understand me. Are we clear ? Good. What do you think about this ? Do you believe that it is ok for a man to hit a woman if it is self defense only. Yes or no. Explain why please. Best answer wins. 🙂

I believe it's perfectly okay for a man to defend himself from a physical attack by a women. That is not what I see there in those videos, though. I see a man getting enraged and going after someone, in this case obviously a woman, because she sort of hit him.

Him being angry enough to go after her that way may be understandable, but it was not self-defense. It didn't look she like actually hurt him either. So yes, in answer to your self-defense "only" question.

@Piper Just because a hit doesn't hurt you doesn't mean you cannot defend yourself from assault.

@Piper I agree!

@Piper so, must a man be significantly impaired before he is allowed to defend himself?? That's ridiculous.

If anyone attacks another person (regardless of how inept or overwhelming that attack might be), the recipient of that attack has every right to do all in their power to end it.
Don't want an ass whooping, don't attack other people. 🤷‍♂️

I've watched the video several times, @Zonuss. I saw two angry and agressive acting people, and one who kind of "hit" the other. The man in this situation was acting kind of aggressive right from the beginning of what the video shows. I don't of course know, what happened before that.

What I saw is a man reacting in anger and retaliation, not self-defence. I said him being angry enough to go after her that way may be understandable. It was however, 'over-kill' to react in rage and tackle the annoying woman.

@easterniowegin Not sure how anything I said provoked your rather unhinged reply of assumptions, but I don't much care, either.

@Piper

and one who kind of "hit" the other.

Why are you trying to down play her attack on him? She attacked him and his reaction was perfectly understandable..

Piper · 61-69, F

@Sharon I wasn't, am not trying to downplay her attack on him. I agree that his reaction was perfectly understandable, even. The woman did not just physically attack him, she reportedly also verbally attacked him with racial and "homophobic" slurs.

I mentioned that she kind of hit him, because it looks like she barely made contact. Personally, I think she deserved to be smacked back, but that was not the question.

@Piper

I mentioned that she kind of hit him, because it looks like she barely made contact.

In law, the slightest touch is a battery (assault is just the threat of a battery). My criticism was that your saying she only "kind of 'hit' him", appeared to be an attempt to downplay her violence.

I fully concur with your last comment.

Piper · 61-69, F

@Sharon There is nothing in my replies to this question, as asked, that has anything to do with how assault is defined in law.

Zonuss · 46-50, M

@Piper It appears she assaulted him first. 🤔

Sharon · F

@Piper
As I said, you appeared to be an attempting to downplay her violence.

Piper · 61-69, F

@Zonuss Yep!
