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.

He also followed her from place to place and made threatening remarks to her and her friends.

The video shows her in a cafe booth, and him at the exit.

At what point would you say she does have the right to get physical?  Considering all of the harassment she had already received from him prior to her "putting hands on him"?
