2 issues:I once saw a segment on "Judge Judy" very similar to this, with two guys at a party, one of them drunk, the other pushing another guy's buttons. The drunk guy got confrontational, and the other guy pushed back, injuring the drunk guy and causing damage to the residence. He was ordered by Judge Judy to pay damages to the guy who was drunk (including his medical bills), as well as compensate the homeowner for several thousand to fix what was broken. The drunk guy paid $0.
1) You're citing Judge Judy as a source
2) They were in Mexico.
Although it's hard to counter a source as widely respected and knowledgable as Judge Judy, I'll point out Andrew Jackson had no problem shooting a motherfucker that he considered an afront to his personal dignity.According to Judge Judy, you have a choice on how to behave when confronted by a drunken person at a party: Act as an adult and walk away, or confront this person with violence and possibly cause damage that you WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR.
...in the United States..According to the law,
Nope. Throwing a drink is technically assault. Especially when it's an alcoholic drink thrown into the eyes, which rely on being well hydrated. He'd be liable too, if they were in the states. But technically she initiated.the guy in the video would be held accountable for any and all harm done to the woman and the premises had there be damages.
No.As it stands now, he could have been arrested for assault and battery. On video, an open and shut case.
The video makes me conflicted. My gut has a huge problem with hitting women. But if I replace "woman", with "person" in your sentence, I can firmly say this is shit.A grownup walks away from a drunken, out of control woman.
I'm more the "walk away" type. But sometimes getting the shit kicked out of you is society's way of correcting innappropriate actions when words fail.
More that that he was drunk too. You can't write off her actions because she was drunk, then expect him to have an infinitely greater level of control when he is.
The only reason she did that was because she was a woman, and didn't believe she'd face the same consequences as anyone else because of that.
I challenge you to conduct the following experiment: Take 10 people you consider "secure males". Get into an argument with them while drunk, and throw a drink in your face. I can practically guarantee that if they're anywhere near your size, you will have some severe issues.An insecure male with masculinity issues hits her back to keep the bitch in her place. If you choose the latter, the law will come down on you very hard. Your choice.
Beyond that, the guy is from fucking MOROCCO. Where he's from, what he did would be considered a "light" punishment. Until pretty recently women were worth jack shit there.
