No it's not.
Ya better read the thread before making ignorant comments Mr. CT.
No matter how ya chop it up, because someone might call you a name, does not justify you or *anyone* else to physically and violently attack them.
This is no argument here.
Oddly, there has been quite the argument here in this thread, with several freepers thinking it was OK or understandable for the guy to be punched.
Maybe YOU should read the thread, before asserting something false like “there is no argument here”.
Whether it is HARD to argue that he didn’t deserve to be punched, as I said, is truly an opinion about the difficulty thereof — clearly people ARE arguing it, and I can’t even argue against the guy being arrested.
But I grew up in a time where occasionally, people hit you. I was punched several times in school. NOBODY was ever arrested for it, and I would never have WANTED anybody arrested for it. It was certainly a bad thing for bullies to exist, but we have lost all sense of proportion.
If someone ever insulted my wife, I might well punch them. That’s my job.
