I just watched the video. Play stupid games. Win stupid prized.

She deserved it.

I’m 64 and, truth be told, probably would have done the same thing (assuming emotions were high). We live in an age of equal rights. The sex of the person coming at you is utterly irrelevant.

I’m going to make a legal, not moral, argument. Gender might be irrelevant here. Disparity of force is what matters. The man was badly outnumbered. That’s a point in his favor at the trial.

But he was much bigger and stronger than the girl who lunged at him. That’s a point against him.

And he answered a weak shove with a solid punch. That’s another point against him.

The DA will bring that all up. And that’s what will get him convicted.
