Now granted his reaction was over the top and he should have not hit her, let alone as hard as he did. But she should have been held accountable for putting her hands on him too.
Why is it ok for someone to slap someone? Slapping someone can cause physical harm too and should be treated as assault (at least if it's an unwanted slap and as hard as Mixon claims).

Both should have been in legal trouble for hitting the other.

Look at the video.  You really think it felt like a dude hit him?  You really think it could have caused damage beyond rosy cheeks?

The whole assault thing and justification for a man decking a girl is ludicrous.  If it was your daughter I'm pretty sure you'd want to pull out a magnum and take the guy's head off.   I felt like that and she was just a drunk woman I don't know from Adam acting stupid in a bar and slapping some dude.

I can feel the sting on my face.  I would have been pissed, turned around and walked out of the place.  Even in my drunken college days I would have done that.

There is no justification for what he did.  None.   He's lying out of his face saying that it felt like a dude hit him.  I guarantee you he's been hit by a dude.  No way that slap had any resemblance to the feeling.  I've had the smack slapped out of my face by an angry woman.   And I've been decked.    Absolutely no comparison.
