That is why she was punched. Yet, you keep ducking the fact that she layed hands on him 2x and are excusing that with "She's a drunk girl". Well, soemtimes the reaction you get isn't the one you expect.
I also enjoy that some of you think it's ok for the first offender in any situation to set the level of aggression and response. That's funny. On the few occasions in my life that someone has been stupid enough to physically touch at me with violence, they immediately regretted it. Not a little. But a lot. Enough to know to not touch me ever again. The first actor in a violent situation doesn't set the level of violence. They just set the fact that there is violence being done. After that, good luck to em.
^ That being said...
I would personally NEVER hit a woman unless a life was in danger or they had a weapon or something. But I cannot put my values onto Joe Mixon and neither can you. Joe Mixon was a teenager when he did that. Are teenagers in great control of their emotional responses? Typically NOT.
Do I think his response was warranted? NO! Not at all. And I've repeatedly said this.
Do I think Mixon's group started the war of words w inapropriate comments? YES
Did the girl have a chance to not punch or slap him? YES
Did she get punched after she slapped/punched him? YES
Was she physically being threatened or in danger before she hit Mixon? NO
Did I excuse Joe Mixon's response? NO
I brought up her arrest record and that she was hammered drunk in public (during the incident) to show that she is no choir girl. Ironically people are getting upset at that... WHILE BRINGING UP A PARKING TICKET AGAINST JOE MIXON. The hypocrisy is in that is thick. Hilarious, actually.
All I did in my original post that got some of you simps feathers all up was say that there were layers to what happened in 2014 and that Mixon has been no trouble at all since being a Bengal. I then layed out what happened after reading repeated false statements from members on here because some of you goofballs seemingly like to imagine different scenarios - of which I provided links showing that you guys were full of #%&* in your recollection of events.
At least none of you are trying to dispute the facts of what happened and we're just down to a parking ticket and he shouldn't have responded that way. No shit, Sherlock. Of course he shouldn't have responded that way. NO ONE IS SAYING HE SHOULD HAVE.
The parking ticket was brought up as it was another example of an act of aggression committed against a female by Joe Mixon, not because he didn't know where to park his car.
But I do agree there's at least one "simp" in this discussion. Keep thinking it's others.
