In the first place the disgusting women in this situation had to business attempting to take the law into their own hands especially after they started the confrontation with their loutish behaviour and the guy should not have joined in. Secondly he should not have used and physical violence let alone a serious punch unless he was in serious danger and could not run away, for ethical reasons as well as legal reasons. Such an attack is completely uncivilised and I don't have any sympathy for him, and nor should anyone here. If you do you need to worry that you have a very unhealthy attitude that could oneday result in a lengthy prison sentence!

When you seize up due to electrocution, you fall down. When you fall down without any bodily control, you often hit your head. And when you hit your head on the ground, you can die.

Its much easier to put your point across without punching anyone. Its hard to skill someone with one punch but its not worth the risk. Many times a fight will escalte to the point where someone starts using dangerous methods of winning like picking up weapons or going for eyes/throat, thats a much easier way to kill or at least maim which is arguably equally as bad.

If you get into a fight you have to show control and understand that your actions are going to be critized thoroughly afterwards, and I think that is appropriate. I've done full-contact, soft, hard, and one of the most important things they've shown me is I don't need to use my hands, if I can stop the situation arising in the first place I won, if I had to manhandle the guy , whatever the outcome, I lost. That he went looking for a problem, and used his hands instead of his head over something so trivial for image infront of some girls is telling of how reckless he was. Martial arts can be a double edged sword, using it, having the wrong attitude can destroy others and yourself.

Since that time (thirty years ago) I have never once used my training on a single person. I like to think that my training prevents me from needing my training -- that I was transformed by the experience in such a way that now, when would-be attackers look me over, they sense a straight spine, an agile sense of balance, strong chi, and both the will and the skill to fight to the death to protect myself. In other words, they grok that I'm not easy prey and they move on. Far from making me more likely to use my training to hurt an innocent, I was indoctrinated every day to control my power -- to practice responsible, ethical self-control. As I am neither easy prey nor a heedless aggressor, I have never needed to strike even one blow in over thirty years. I studied Kung Fu in my 20′s after being assaulted.

It is a sad representation of America at best. I'm a soldier and have been over half of my life. Fighting wars for this country so that the people may be protected and have a good chance at life. And this... is how you repay me and those like me. Thanks for the discouragement. So there is an older guy watering plants in a traffic circle. Several females that are angry at what? Being asked to avoid running over the mans water hose for what, half an hour at most? So what do they do? They act like fools and run their mouths while the man just keeps on watering. It appeared that the man told them to leave him alone or the equivalent. The female's champion of justice comes with not an intent to talk to the man and reach some agreement, there was no talking of any measurable worth. The champion came with the intent to harm the man, to bully him, to discriminate against him, to beat him down in all ways. The man did not deserve even the assault the females gave him, much less the threat from the champion. The man did not deserve the punch nor did he deserve death. The champion is not a karate guy, he is not a warrior, he is not a champion of anything of value. The champion deserves nothing less than to rot in jail. Better yet, so that we the honest citizens do not have to pay so much money to keep this champion in jail and since the crime was so terrible, the champion and all of the females should be brought back to that very spot for all of the TV cameras and their public execution. We can stop this sort of behavior but only by reaching into the hearts and mind of these fools and reminding them that there is more to life than fighting over a da&* water hose. I watched the video.
