UFC fighter ko's woman Beater on Street

[Apok]

Shame on you for not helping your family out. :/

It's dependant, she was somewhat estranged from us and had little contact with us for the most part of her relationship with him.
It was all a question of self -confidence with her and the fact that he manipulated her so badly mainly to believe that we didn't love her, or welcome her.

We only found the true extent after the fact, after which only revenge would have come into it.

Revenge and justice are not one in the same.

We offered her whatever she needed whenever she needed it, but even if the person was beating her, it's not like we can force people against their emotions and how they feel, some people are wired differently to other people and will follow patterns they are comfortable in and are afraid to lose that little bit they have even if it is not much.

To this day it hasn't affected my judgement with regards to men hitting women, yes domestic violence is wrong, but lets not pretend that women are only ever the victims.

Yes I agree with you, I am of the opinion you don't hit someone when they're on the deck.

Same, unless they punched a girl from behind knocking her unconscious, then I'd gladly jump on their face.

First thing I'd be doing is rendering assistance to the woman that was hit...beating up the guy after the fact isn't going to make much difference to her condition.

meanwhile he gets away

This wouldn't have made right for us to stab him or injure him badly as a lot of people seem to want.

Bloody would. He stabbed your sister for waking him up... with breakfast in bed :/

I understand the sentiment, but it's circular logic.

Then his mother/father/whatever would have deserved to stab me for stabbing him, and thus the violence continues unabated until both families are consumed.

Arbritralary allowing violence simply because something violates our morales and thus is open game for "retaliation" is wrong, and should never be allowed.

Did Huerta (if it was indeed him, although his tattoo is pretty distinctive) go over the top? Quite possibly, stamping on a guys head when he is laying on the concrete floor could easily have been lethal. However, aside from that he did the right thing, the guy didn't just give the woman a slap, he sucker punched a woman half his size in the back of the head... something that also had the potential to be fatal. You can't do that, and if you think you can then you need somebody to put you back in line.

Well done Roger.

What about a man stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family (apologies Victor Hugo)? Should that crime go unpunished? As the guy was only doing the right thing.

It isn't up to the individual on the street to dictate punishments. As has been said, what if that woman had murdered every member of the other guys family? This is why we have courts of law.

Roger Huerta repsonds "I got the better of him"

Seems like he's setting up his legal defence, that the woman beater started on him, perfectly reasonable. What a stand up guy.

I didn't suggest that the punishment fits the crime in this instance.

Ergo, if he gets his head stomped then he gets his head stomped, and that's what happens when you punch women in the head from behind..

Violence begets violence.

Yes, you did.

To you maybe hitting a woman who's walking away is acceptable, but, to me.. No..

You see what I did there, I kind of took your concept, and then expanded it, and twisted it. Because you didn't really say that it was OK to hit a woman did you?, rather you said that you make no special exemption for them. We can make anything out of anything if we try hard enough.

The difference being that I took your concept and applied it, not took it and made up something different.
