Did the guy go over the top ? I dont know
One came out with a fractured skull.. how far do the injuries need to go before you know it's over the top?
if you chose to attack someone than you shouldnt be allowed to act shocked or file charges if they kick the fuck out of you.
Right, and if you attack back to the nth degree of what was directed at you, you shouldn't be allowed to act shocked that your potentially deadly assault might just land your ass in the can.
Yes, it could've been prevented if those two girls weren't trash and didn't assault him first. A slap is nowhere near beating someone down with a friggin rod and continuing to hit them while they're already down.
If it was me? Depending on how it went down, I very well might've punched her back to get her off me. If she kept up, I have 15 people behind me to help pull her off to keep my hands mostly clean. And that isn't going to result in someone in the hospital with a cracked up noggin.
Me punching the bitch back and defending myself from an attack isn't the same as assault with a weapon. I damn sure wouldn't have been a pussy and run to get a rod to beat her down with -- that's not evenly matched, for one, and for two once they're down and no longer a threat, you're no longer defending yourself. Standing over her and yelling things like where you goin, bitch (which would presumably mean she was trying to get away from him) as people scream at him and beg him to stop is
not him simply defending himself.
They shouldn't be able to file a lawsuit and their actions warrant repercussions also, but the answer is yes, he should definitely be in jail. If he's gonna do that to some stranger that slaps him in the face, wtf do you think a guy like that does to a pissed off ghetto ass girlfriend who gets up in his face accusing him and hitting him like crazy ass ghetto girlfriends do? A dude like that is bound to kill her.
He brought an AK47 to a knife fight basically. They're ignorant and trashy bitches who way overstepped their bounds and absolutely should be punished for their offenses; he's a coward and a piece of shit that responds to a slap in the face by pulverizing a person a fraction of his size with a weapon...repeatedly.
These two actions are not equal. If someone starts a fight with you and hits you first, do you honestly think the correct response is to run for a baseball bat and beat them into unconsciousness after they're already fucked? I mean really, even street fights have rules, and bringing in a weapon against a chick who slaps you in the face wouldn't be viewed as acceptable by some of the most ghetto pieces of shit out there.
