Really? You two guys are defending a big guy hitting a little girl?
No. I'd like to see the girl charged with assault and given 30 days in jail.
If the man punched the girl, he'd get a month in jail.
She could have taken out an eye, busted his front teeth, broken his nose, even ruptured something big if that punch (or next one) landed on the neck.
She chose the WORST backdrop for throwing a punch. He reacted. It wasn't pretty, but it wasn't curse words or spit or a cold drink or even slaps - she was bringing a FIST to his face.
it's ugly, and I'd do everything I could to walk away from this. But I can see why he punched back. Getting punched HURTS. And that girl knew how to punch - like a man. Great form on her actually, following thru.
