"Scarpino, 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, suffered a broken nose, a chipped tooth and a concussion."

I swear, where do you people live. In fantasyland?. There are plenty of civiized societies around the world where you get your hand cut off for stealing and put to death for smoking pot. People have been hitting other people with their hands since about, oh...freakin' Cain and Abel.

Why is everyone so quick to defend the victim here. Because you see him as yourself? Oh, I wouldn't want to hit someone.
He made some kind of smartass remark.. He figured nothing would happen. " Sorry honey, I think the pizza will be a little delayed" could as easily have been "Some fuckin' black bitch just fuckin' cut the line , simple bitch". He sure wouldn't have said that if the big guy had been with her when she walked in.

"No offense", but when you grow up and see how the world works you might change your mind about self-defense.

You and your girl are standing in line at Disney World. One of those back and forth cattle stall lines. Some loud asshole is behind you. As you move through the line, the jerk takes the opportunity to brush up against your girl and cops a feel. She says 'That guy just groped me'. You say 'Really, wow, what an asshole'. Since you seemed so upset, he does it again 5 minutes later. Now your girl glares at you. 'He did it again'. Whatca' gonna do now? Depends on what you want to happen I guess. You could just get out of the line you've waited in for half an hour. You could just continue to stand in line and if you're lucky he'll get in the same car as you and your girl. Or, you grab him by the collar, lift it up, look him straight in the eye, and say in a calm voice with your other arm cocked, "If you touch my girl again, I'm going to punch you in the face". He says 'sorry, man, I didn't mean it'. You say nothing while looking him in the eye.......then you let go of his shirt. Now, I would advise not taking your eyes off him for the rest of the line but I can assure you, you would have no more trouble from him. Oh, BTW, BTDT.
