Why is the guy responding “getting away with it”. I mean I get the angle that’s there’s no damage and it’s funny and all until it’s not. Like I said pretty much every person would be annoyed at the very least. If you want to do it for the lols you need to realize you might get some guy that’s not in the mood and he’s totally justified in knocking you out.


And it would be reasonable imo.

I get into physical altercations a lot though. Methed out psychobillies lol.

I swear you are never ready to restrain someone when you go into the Room and they are naked with a swastika their chest throwing shit.

Someone threw milkshake on me I would not hesitate to slug them. I am not trying to get anybody to vote for me though.

Imagine if a right-winger assaulted a minority left-wing politician in the same way. Would that be acceptable?


No need to imagine. Right wingers don't know when to stop. Corbyn got egged recently... that woulda been ok. But the dude then had to punch him in the back of the head... then there's the Jo Cox murder.

If right wingers just threw shakes then whatever. But they'd be more likely to just shoot people.

Imagine getting shaked on a 90 degree day in the middle of enjoying your Sunday afternoon or something.

I wonder by law if the person getting shaked punches the guy and breaks his jaw would he be justified in the U.K.?


Whether self defence is appropriate is determined by the criteria of 'reasonable force'. Is it reasonable to break someone's jaw for throwing a milkshake on you? No, it isn't, but it's not that simple either. I've seen a case where the defendant was startled by a youtuber pushing him for a prank and instinctively he punched him, knocking him out cold. Judging by the information he had in that split second the defendant genuinely thought he was in danger and he was not charged.

To answer your question simply, no you would not get convicted if it was a reactionary punch. If you continued to pummel them on the floor then yeah.

reasonable yes, legal no.

escalation of force is only legal in hellholes like Florida with stand your ground laws.

Qft

Tommy Robinson started swinging hard after getting shaked. Dude should press charges. Most antifa are anarchists though so they prefer not to deal with the police. ACAB etc...

i wish i was a judge with the power to sentence people to just a good old fashioned fight in cases like this. 5-6 dudes standing around making sure nothing gets out of hand. no weapons, etc. just good old fashioned fisticuffs.

would fix a lot of bullshit on the back end and prevent a lot of deviant behavior.

Seems kinda bad to put your average transwoman up against Joe Rogan.
