Apparently advising people not to escalate a verbal confrontation to a physical one is bad advice when it comes from someone you don't like.
In my opinion the confrontation had already been escalated when the shooter violated the personal space of the woman. At that point she was justified in feeling threatened with "physical violence", and that is generally what the law recognizes. You don't have to wait for a person to punch or stab you (or any threatened person) before taking physical defensive action.
I don't care who the member is telling me not to defend my woman if a guy is in her facing harassing her. I am not going to just wait for him to hit her before I do something. And since he was not acting reasonable by getting in the woman's face I have no reason to believe that he will respond to reasonable requests.
