@tirk my dad always told me that. Not everyone responds the way you would, in today's world you never know who your dealing with. Case in point Joe McKnight!
He sat out a year. Saban would have sat him the 1st half of the Middle Tenn game. The DA had this suppressed since the start and the media are the ones that finally got it released.
This isn't about how you or I would have handled it differently. It's about once you put your hands on someone don't cry once things don't go your way. That's called personal responsibility.
If she had died from his punch he'd be in prison. Words won't put you there, but a closed fist can. A child can say some awful things and even lash out, but that doesn't justify any adult to physically harm and overwhelm one who poses no bodily threat in that moment. The woman was hospitalized and ate through a straw for months. Justify that for me, please. I've spent years of my life in hospitals and it isn't fun. It's often actually functioned as a prison at times mentally. Some responses here sadden me. She deserved to be reprimanded for her behavior, but he was not the one who had the right to adjudicate and then administer said reprisal. Let a manager or the police do that.
