"Person A punched person B so person B punched them back and happened to win the fight because person A never should have fucked with person B so person B is at fault even though they didn't throw the first punch" - you being a fucking moron. Remove gender from this and it's pretty obvious one adult punched another…

No, you just don't like that it's accurate. He hit her ONCE in order to stop her from attacking him because fleeing was impossible in a tiny elevator. When the terms "to stop you from punching me in the face again" and "stuck in a confined space" are a part of it, that's self defense. As I've stated many, many…

You just equated punching someone back that punched you FIRST with piping someone that kicked you in the shin. Proportional response means if you punch me I punch you back. That is in proportion. And maybe she shouldn't have punched someone with an "extreme physical advantage" over her. Just saying.

Once again, being struck with a punch does not present you with a free pass to respond with one of your own.

No, fuck you. How could he defuse the situation? If someone's punching you in the face and you have no where to go it is what it is. She hit him first. You call people domestic violence apologists while giving the aggressor who hit him first a free pass. How the fuck does that make sense? What, because she's…

I've answered this three times already from different people so I'll be brief. You're being intentionally dense. That was said as an example that regardless of size, getting punched in the face obviously hurts which I plainly said so as not to deal with people like you intentionally being disingenous about what was…

Yes and no. He's just pocketed $10M which is NEVER bad for your future and chances are, just like all the superstars, after the guaranteed $$$ is done, he'll hold out or something and they tear it up and re-do the deal in like 2018. By the time this deal gets redone (or it's time to hold out and try to renegotiate)…

Right, and I wish he'd just let it go, but he didn't and if she actually hit him first (which all the facts support) then he's within his rights to defend himself. As the old saying goes, "fuck with the bull you get the horns"

Unless the police saying they both hit each other means he hit her first and she was somehow able to hit him back after (thus, completely invalidating every "he's a pro athlete, he could kill her!" post) and didn't get off without charges because it'd obviously be self-defense, it's pretty obvious what happened.

Security called police, who rolled back the surveillance tape and saw that the couple had "struck each other with their hands." Shortly thereafter, both were arrested and charged with simple assault, suggesting that the cops believed them to be equally responsible.

I would try not to but can't guarantee I wouldn't. You talk like someone that's never been in a fight. I got my @$$ handed to me by a dude half my size when I was 15. Getting punched in the face hurts a lot regardless of how big the person doing it is (to say nothing of the potential head injuries and sensitivity…

She threw a punch so he threw one back. Just because his was a stronger punch doesn't change those facts as much as you want to manipulate the outcome of his punch to do so. He didn't ground and pound like UFC or throw 25 punches. The facts are she hit him and he defended himself because there's not far you can run…

No because it's apples and oranges. One's an accident done by a child, the other is an adult making a conscious decision to attack someone.

Right, that's EXACTLY what this means. Idiot.

No because my cousin didn't do it on purpose and isn't another adult.

How is it escalating to punch someone back that's already punching you? The person who "escalated" things was the person who threw the first punch and he responded with the same thing (meaning they both threw a punch.) He was also stuck in an elevator so he had no where to run away to to get away from it. I mean it…

You should be able to stop it and fend it off but that's also why you don't come at someone with force, especially someone who's drunk in a small, enclosed space with no place to run away to in order to defuse the situation, because you've then escalated a situation to a place where force is justified to defend…

I don't disagree with that but the Celtics and Lakers ending up both outside the top 5 is a pretty big sign that it's not. And you can't do a live lottery cuz it's not they each get a set number of balls but that they each get a set number of combinations so it'd be 14 different Powerball-like lotteries then checking…

Ya, as I was writing that I knew I'd get a response like this but think about these key points.
