I enjoy how that article makes no mention of the woman doing anything at all. Fucking media.

It's not fear. It's what happy, responsible adults do. But it's not unexpected from a message board full of man-boys whose ideal life is Charlie Sheen's except with more guns. I don't care how much you like coke; a middle-aged drug addict with an estranged wife and two kids he can't see is not happy. Entertaining, yes. Happy, no.

What's more, who fixes their lawnmower in March? I'm ready for spring as much as the next guy but don't try and bullshit me and say he was just getting it fixed up for the first cut. Lol.
I've only wanted to hit a woman one time in my life. It was a couple years ago and we were both shitty wasted after leaving a bar. She swung at me and later managed to tackle me in the parking lot. Reason? I didn't want her to drive home. I picked myself up and walked home. I probably would have been justified in hitting her but being justified isn't going to make me feel right about it.

lolwut, did you miss a pill or two?
I think you need to step away from whatever news sources you use, but then you probably fear the local anchors will find out you stopped listening to their newsbreak and come 'get you'.

Its not fear, its sense. Regardless of how tough you think you are, as an Internet Tough Guy, there are guaranteed to be lots of people tougher than you.
This example shows how easily a small altercation can lead to serious injuries. When I lived in the UK, some middle aged men died while fighting youths, often from falling and hitting their heads during the fight.
Point is, no one is bullet proof, dont go out looking for trouble because maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday you will end up in serious shit. I'm not saying you should be a pussy and not stand up for yourself, you need to figure out what is worth getting into a fight over. Not much actually is.
Yup, if a woman throws a punch, they get hit back.
As someone else mentioned, the problem is women's rights. Not that equal rights are bad, but it's left a lot of women in a middleplace where they think they're not going to be held to the same standards of punishment for what they do. Back when women had less rights, a woman simply wouldn't hit you, or when they did it was a slap -- not a punch -- and it was accepted that a man wouldn't hit them back (unless it was their husband :O ). Now, women throw punches, but some people wrongfully try to equate a punch to a slap.
Sure, it sucks that she might die, and definitely sucks that she'll be brain damaged even if she lives, but it was her choice to punch him.

This guy deserves a unique punishment such as being tied and gagged on a gurney and having a 200 watt soldering iron planted in his anus. The input voltage would then be ramped up slowly so that it takes no less than two hours to reach its peak temperature.
Human rights end when people don't act human any more. Take the trash to the incinerator, spread the ashes and move on.
Seriously, if he just drove around, kept his mouth shut and avoided a scene nothing would have become of this.
I do NOT understand road rage of any kind at all. It's just plain silly. If someone wants to pass or move over, just let them go. If they cut you off, move away and life goes on. This crap with flashing lights, flipping fingers, yelling, throwing apple pies, etc. is quite silly and dangerous.

i agree to a point. how hard did the 4'11' 100lb woman hit him? did it warrant the retaliation he laid on her? he is already saying he wishes he wouldn't have raised his fist.

i know the surveillance video his attorney claims to have is supposed to clear this up, but... if someone pushes you away does that give you the right to hit them in the face so hard that they land out cold?
I think it will still come out that what he did was excessive, and he went beyond "acting in self defense". then again, maybe the video will prove that wrong. we shall see.

Surveillance video does not record sound in most of the cases.
The fact that he got out of his vehicle in the first place (which the surveillance video would show) makes him guilty. Like I said he should have just moved on.
Does not mean reserving a place is right (like chair hogging is also wrong but people do it), he was way out of line for making a scene.

Of course he wishes he didn't punch her. He wouldn't have done it if he knew what would have happened to her. His intention was not to permanently damage the lady, that's just simply what happened as a result of her dishing it out and not being able to/prepared to take it.
As to, "how hard did the 4'11' 100lb woman hit him," that makes absolutely no difference. What about a 130lbs man hitting a 180lbs man? Does that mean the 180lbs man should just sit there and get punched because he could easily do more damage to the 130lbs man? If 130lbs man hits a 180lbs man with his full force, should the 180lbs man attempt to scale back his full force simply because the person that hit him only hit him with a force less than what he's capable of producing? No. If someone makes the decision to throw a punch, they better be prepared to be punched back.
The real tragedy here is not that the woman is damaged because she's the one that made the mistake of punching him in the first place. The real tragedy is that this poor guy is probably going to end up going to jail for defending himself because people are stupid.

You don't know what she "dished out", ok? We are basing reaction on assumptions at this point. I am maintaining she didn't use brute force on him, and he did use it. He also said that he saw her male friend coming to the scene and started having flashbacks of when he was 15 y/o and got jumped. See, he is preparing his excuse for knocking her out.
So, you are saying physically women are just as strong as men. This woman could've knocked this man out had she tried. I see exactly where you are coming from.
Also, do not preach to me about being right in hitting back when someone hits you first. I have not disagreed with that. I am talking about her hit versus his. (If she did indeed hit him, we do not know. Do we?)
Yes, it appears he was stupid. As Ruby said, he should never even have gotten out of his car to confront her. That was his first mistake. Even if holding the space is wrong you would not see me getting out of my vehicle to confront anyone like that. Not worth it.

If the guy minded his own business he would not have had insurmountable legal issues. Since he has a previous record it appears corrective action in the past has failed. He gets everything coming to him IMO.
Sorry guys but this guy was not prepared for the consequences when he stepped out of his car. Defending himself? Get real! He was not minding his own business and someone attacked him out of the blue!
Poke at a hornet's nest and expect to get stung. This guy not only did that, he poured gasoline on the nest and the end result he burned his house down. Lesson learned. (or not)

she's standing there.. he tries to park.. heated words are exchanged, he gets out of his car and approaches..
I don't agree with holding parking spaces but if I were standing there and this happened to me I'd definitely feel physically threatened and that's probably how a jury of reasonable people will see it as well.
What the woman was doing was illegal and preventing him from doing something legal. He had every right to tell her to move. Not to mention, a little thing called free speech. He could have gone up to her, called her every name in the book, and she still wouldn't have had the right to attack him.
The woman was in the wrong, and he defended himself. His past record doesn't even matter because she hit him first. If he just walked up to her and punched her, then yea, you'd be right that past corrective action failed. Unfortunately for you, that is simply not the case. Sorry that your convictions supercede logic and the law in your mind, but you are wrong.
Perhaps you missed the entire point of what I wrote: her physical ability/capabilities make absolutely no difference. She attacked him, he defended himself. That is all that matters.

It's illegal to reserve a parking space? Really?
No this THUG needs to be off the streets permanently. Sorry but he has not learned a lesson and has caused real damage to someone. 100% avoidable.
Again he chose to start a confrontation. How hard is that to grasp?
He probably has no real assets so there is nothing to attach in judgment. Just another zero to society that taxpayers will be supporting while he rots in prison.

Perhaps you skipped over everything I said. #1, we don't know that she hit him. For now, it is his word over hers. And for some reason, she isn't talking! She didn't deserve to be in the condition she is in.
You keep sticking up for this thug. I'll wait for the real story to come out.
In NY, it is illegal to reserve a parking space in New York.
He chose to start a verbal confrontation, she chose to start a physical one. How hard is that to grasp?
Actually, you aren't. You've been adamant that he's to blame without "the real story." Obviously, it will be different if it turns out he hit her first, but that's not the stance you've been taking. Your sole argument has been that he shouldn't have defended himself because he can do more damage to her because he's bigger and he's a man. Sorry, but any way you spin that is wrong. However, your surrender is accepted.
