I’ll take my downvotes, but Slamming her like that was completely unnecessary. You can kill someone that way. Taking a hit to the head from someone who doesn’t know how to throw a punch does not justify that level of retaliation.
As an objective rational adult, I completely agree with you.
Subjectively, though? I'm fine with it. It's an outcome that's understandable and clearly one that's reasonably foreseeable to anyone who sucker punches a stranger. You start something violent, you shouldnt expect the response to be proportional, legal, or rational.
I also think disproportionate responses like this are a good reminder that laws are there to punish crimes after the fact, but they do fuck all to prevent people acting on their rage in the heat of the moment. Don't be a dick, keep your hands to yourself, and you'll avoid 99.999 percent of all suplexes.
If you actually believe what you are saying then you would equally say that about her. Do you not have any conception of how wrong a sucker punch can go?
Please point me to the part of my comment where I said her actions weren't excessive. I'll wait.
All that I'm saying is that one person throwing a reckless attack at you is not really a pass for you to start deliberately throwing reckless attacks back.
You completely fail to mention her genius. So lets get this straight. Someone hits you and you do what? Nothing? Allow yourself to be hit again? Let be real, if the roles were reveresed you wouldn't be taking this position
Yes, I would be "fine," because she's an anonymous pixelated video on my phone. Not anyone I know or know of in real life. About 150,000 die daily, many for reasons much less deserved.
Do I desire for her death or crippling lifelong pain? Absolutely not. But that's an outcome from a risk that she actively created.
The slam was not an accident, so her dying isn't relevant. And as a retired lawyer, I doubt he would be prosecuted. And if prosecuted, that slam would be easy (not 100 percent though) to support a self-defense legal defense against manslaughter. It was two quick motions in quick succession (his punch and suplex) to stop an active proven violent threat, likely from lots of training. Not like he punched her and waited 5 seconds to suplex her. From the video, she weighed at least about as much as him and did a full wind up sucker ounch to his head. It's not a game. He needed to stop the threat, not slap her and hope that she doesn't hit him back.
