Seems like he dodged the bullet.

If I had a son who went to the hospital with a bloody nose and then filed charges with the police I would disown him.

[ladyjane]

Your view?

See #28.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah you women stick together even if its your own son that a woman thinks she can do that to and suffer no legal consequences.

[Jewbacca]

Hardly. Had he defended himself in the least he would get expelled , go to prison and his life ruined. And she would be a feminist icon.

“If I had a son who went to the hospital with a bloody nose and then filed charges with the police I would disown him.”

Totally agree. Being a man means understanding that women are basically like a child, and you can’t expect them to bear the consequences of their angry acts in the same way an adult would.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I guess you're right. I don't think I would have gone to the ER unless I thought my nose was broken. And instead of pressing charges -- unless she did something truly horrible -- I would say

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Why?

Assault is assault.

This was not a playground scuffle but a case of one adult repeatedly hitting another.

And you have to establish that you are the aggrieved party in case they come back to do more damage.

And if someone is so emotionally unstable as to hit you for no reason then they are unstable enough to wait for you in a dark alley with a club.

I don’t know how you rate on hot, but I’d say those words put you above the line for crazy.

[nickcarraway]

I wouldn’t go to the hospital, but I grew up in a different time. Have you considered that if he didn’t do this, he might be the one charged and in jail now? The way things are today, that may be true.

[Pelham]

Good for you. I can't imagine being such a pussy as to go to the cops because some irate girlfriend popped me one- and I've had a few get really, really mad at me. Because they're all crazy...

Why? Crazy sluts need to learn the real world. The guy should sue for pain damages and bankrupt her. May be that will teach others around her, particularly females that there is now equality; you can't be assaulting people. When a male shoots a violent female, in self defense of course, then we know gender equality has been achieved.

Gee, how would that be different than if he decked her?

Better being disowned by you than risk being in jail. I could have seen her deciding to file a police report of him starting a fight with her, as further revenge.

I think he played it very smart. By being the first to file charges, and having a hospital record of having received injuries, he prevents HER from filing a police report of HIM having violently assaulted HER, which is a real danger these days. If he had resisted her assault in any way, he would have been arrested. This is the social reality today.
