Let’s take a guess that there was more to this then what we’re hearing....and that they were both big mouths. No excuse for smashing someone.

Remember the simple lesson of, ‘sticks and stones’ we were taught as children? Seems like some people need a refresher course on the basics.

I despise loudmouths.

I despise drunks.

I despise the combination of the two even more.

While I don’t think the guy deserves being on a respirator with possible brain damage for his ignorance, I also don’t believe that was the intent of the person who hit him.

I originally commented that “the guy got what he deserved”, I will amend that to say that both words and actions have consequences and being a loudmouth drunk can result in being punched. My understanding was that the punch was the end result of the last comment the drunk made, but that there were more comments before.

I can see someone being fed up to the point of action after listening to long rant, and just taking a swing. Is it the legal thing to do...No, is it the right thing to do...Probably not. But I go back to my previous statement, words and actions have consequences. If the guy had kept his mouth shut this wouldn’t have happened, if the other guy had walked away, this wouldn’t have happened. As it is, the guy mouthed off and got a deserved punch, the guy that did the punching got a deserved arrest.

I think that sums it up...I’m though!
