Are you maintaining that a physical assault is an equal and appropriate response to a verbal assault? And that the victim had no other options, did not escalate the situation and was totally blameless like GMdino is saying?

Hell if I know.  I will say that I tend not to go around screaming at women and children because I assumed doing that would lead to me getting a fist in the face; something that would be cheered by the general populace.  That's the thing that gets me...have things changed?  Regardless of what the woman and kids are doing or if I'm in the "right" for screaming at them, I always kept to myself because getting beat down by a heroic husband/boyfriend seemed to be what I'd deserve in the eyes of society.

Now if I scream at a woman and kids I can expect a man to stand there and watch because I might be armed?  Ehh, maybe. Right or wrong, there have been times in my life where people initiated contact and put their hands on me, so I guess in hindsight I could have blown them all away. The things we learn.
