As Trump alluded, there was a time when people settled disagreements and controlled bad behavior with fisticuffs. Then the lawyers got involved and voila! Public behavior has gotten worse and worse because violent people feel insulated from a direct, immediate response to their actions.
And here we have freepers going to their fainting chairs because an almost 80 year old guy slugged a Black Lives Matter man. BLM is basically a terrorist organization and the individual, in my opinion, got what he deserved.

Yes a little pop in the mouth can be a really good attitude adjuster. Its not like the guy pulled out a gun and shot him in the head. That I would not have condoned. :-)

People had a lot better manners when dueling was the order of the day.

Totally agree. We think we have become too civilized for fist fighting but the truth is our society was far more polite when people knew there might well be an immediate reaction to their words/actions.
I actually have no problem with the guy punching out the thug in response to his actions which years ago would have been termed a “fighting gesture” and thought justified.
