The Mixon tape

Has he lost his mind?!?!?!?

 

Fear has nothing to do with it.

The question is whether or not he had a reasonable belief that his action was necessary to prevent bodily injury or offensive physical contact. That idea that because she was a "little blonde girl" and he was a "big tough football player" that she could not cause him bodily injury or had not already engaged in offensive physical contact is both loaded with dangerous stereotypes and patently false.

 

If there has ever been a topic more in Heyabbott's wheelhouse...

 

You ARE being contrarian, and inaccurate. She did not "batter" him three times. I'll be yet another poster who claims your use of the word batter is silly. She shoved him, then slapped him, and neither blow did anything. She put her left hand on him, but did not grab or hit with it. To call that another blow is ridiculous. At worst, you are wrong in claiming it was three times. The only thing we can see him do other than a vicious punch to the face is the fake lunge at her after the shove.

 

Holy shit, someone is gonna get suspended for a week to think about his stupidity

 

Why? He's mocking a fan base that deserves to be mocked.

 

"Batter" is a legal term of art, and, yes, she did.

 

Save that fancy lawyerin' mumbo jumbo.

 

well then why did he erase it?

 

I don't know. Some people are chicken, I guess.

But he was right on.

 

I get that batter is a legal term, but it is still silly in this case. Perhaps you forgot the difference between denotation and connotation.

 

But if you keep following the person and engaging them so they continue to batter you at some point would a self-defense claim be moot? To bad she didn't have a gun.
