NO, he started the physical aggression against other people. There is a difference in attacking someone than it is to disturb or annoy with anything. Sleep deprivation is not OK in my mind either, but the guy could've been smart and called the police instead of trying to play hero. His "macho" attitude now left his wife as a widow and 3 children with no father, yes real "balls" on him. 
You got away by playing all tough once as your story says so, but lets see if that can happen again. You should be grateful nothing happened to you.
Thanks for the insults by the way, it just shows your attitude and probably why you think hitting a woman is fine.
Insults are free, and you are welcome. I consider it an assault if my neighbours party loudly through the night and keep me awake, he went over there, asked them to stop and they didn't comply, so he did what any man would do, he STOOD UP FOR HIMSELF, rather than be emasculated by a group of punks. I live in Australia, and over here ringing the police is a complete waste of time, you're lucky if they turn up3 or 4 hours later. I have tried ringing the police before, but to no avail. In regards to my situation with my neighbour, I would do it all again, and by the way they never, I mean never acted out again and six months later the idiot left and now there is peace and quiet. So, sometimes you have to do what you have to do, if I hadn't broken his arm, he would probably be terrorising me and my neighbours still. And by calling you and Idiot, it just shows my frustration with narrow minded individuals who don't see the bigger picture and the real case behind tragedies such as this, anyway I am sure you are MAN enough to handle it.
