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.

Well, perhaps we're working off of different meanings of
civility because, by definition, a civilized society does
not cut off hands nor do they execute for acts done to one's self. So what if violence has been around since
Cain and Abel? Does that mean we must continue to be violent to each other? This makes no sense...
I live in
Canada, which must be fantasyland compared to where you live because it's civilized in the manner of which I speak...

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.

Let me apply your own theory to you. Why are you so quick to justify what happened to the victim? Do you identify with the assailant?

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

I'm very curious as to why you would quote "no offense" in your sentence. Are you trying to say that that quoted text is sarcastic and that you intend to offend?
I think most people will agree that no words can harm anyone so how can they escalate into physical violence? Is there anything I can say to you that could justify you beating me up?
Out of wild curiosity, what do you think would have been a fair sentence for the criminal?
