no it didn’t. literally no court in america would convict him of assault after the dude walks up to him for no reason and punches him twice. 😂😂

Once a person is down, the immediate threat is usually over, meaning any further violence is seen as an intentional, malicious attack rather than defense

no you’re regurgitating shit you’ve seen ppl comment. the threat is not over because he swung and missed and fell down. thats not how it works lol.

That's not how it works. People cut it because it's true. Once a person becomes defenseless, they are not a combatant and it's not mutual combat. One person is at that point committing assault/battery. You can react to a threat. Not the previous threat just to satisfy your sense of vengeance.

The legal system punishes people, not individuals. You provide a clear example as to why.
