What I noticed is that she immediately turns and cocks her right fist long before he does anything the camera can see. He grabbed her right wrist with his left hand to keep her from trying to use it so she tried to punch with her left hand to which he countered with his right hand.

Not to excuse what he did but this almost looks like self-defense and I normally don’t sympathize with women-beaters.

To me it looks like they were both vying for a spot at the bar as the other two girls get their drinks and take their time leaving. ...it actually looks like she moves in first, then moves a little left, trying to keep him from getting to the bar. ...words exchanged.

He is pushing or rubbing against her back as he tries to squeeze between her and the two that are leaving.

He didn't grab her wrist until she makes a fist.

Looks like he tried to cut in line at the bar and she refused to be intimidated.

All he had to do was step back and let her order. And then take his turn.

Just my opinion.

That’s too damn bad.

There is nothing anyone says to a person which justifies a violent response.

Doesn’t matter if she slurs ones race, impugns one’s manhood or questions one’s sexuality.

There is one brief instant of expression on her face, when she looks back at him, that leads me to believe they were not strangers. If everything that happened, happened in the video, then I definitely blame him. If something had been going on before and what we are seeing is just a continuing of the action, then I’d probably need more information.

I don’t think she hit him. She too a swing but it looks like she missed.

As for FSU, why would anyone be surprised they found a thug to play QB?

De'Andre is already drunk as a skunk, weaving as he tries to squeeze up to the bar.

He grabs the bar with his right hand, his elbow is in her back. ...then grabs hold the bar with his other hand as she turn around to confront him with balled up fist.

We must note that he already was assaulting her (by grabbing her right hand/hair) almost going to a choke hold, then she feebly swung with her left arm. If someone is restraining me, damn certain I will attempt to break that hold and, if necessary, carry it further.

From what I can tell from the longer video is she gets up to the bar first and he is trying to squeeze in to her left between her and someone else. For whatever reason she won’t let him squeeze past her and they are exchanging words when she turns around to get in his face. He grabs her arm and they continue to argue and she throws a weak punch and he decks her.

Pretty pathetic of both of them. Now he has lost his scholarship and she’s probably still hanging at the bar throwing her fat ass around so the next person can’t get to the bar.

Just two drunks vying for the same spot at the bar, who got into a fight.

You may be right about them not being strangers.

He punches her like she's his girlfriend or something? hehe

I don’t know if they knew each other but they had definitely interacted prior to walking up to the bar. Or maybe he groped her and she turned around and told him to knock it off. Or maybe he’d be following her around the bar and she turned and told him to back off. Whatever happened, she did say something to him and she didn’t appear to be very upset.

She didn’t knee him in the groin. But it appears she tried to AFTER he had her by the hair.

The two white guys behind her apparently were not with her, or they might have reacted to the assault.

Hey, De’Andre, I’ve had GIRLS hit me harder than you hit her. C’mon around if you want a piece of grandpa!

There is a larger point here.

If he was at a bar and a little guy, the size of that female, and that guy hit him, like the female did, no one would care that he hit back and cleaned the guy clock.

However, because a female hit him and he he back, that is all sorts of wrong.

Now for the point: The LEFT constantly berates all for NOT treating women as total equals, in all things. The left tells us that we must NOT treat women as the weaker sex.

Then we are hit (pun intended) with TV and movies and real-life situations where women are acting with physical aggression, i.e., hitting men (”Buffy can kick the poo out of a 250lb guy, so can I”). Men are put in their place by these rough-an-ready females.

Because of this nonsense we see increased violence and hitting and cruelty by females in real life.

Should he have let the female strike him and moved on? Yes. . . and no.

Yes if you believe in chivalry and manners.

No, if you believe in blind equality of the sexes and the lefts insistence that females are equal on all levels and should be treated as such. . .just like the 120lb little guy striking him would have been hit back, so should she have been struck.

This situation demonstrates that there are no rules: Women can hit men but men can't hit women, but wait, men and women are totally equal and there must be no difference between the two. . .especially if she initiates the violence—the man can protect himself. . .but wait, no he can't. . .this is soooo confusing. The left makes things confusing.

Leftist dogma, men must treat women as equals in all things, too include physical altercations (popular media and feminist belief; firefighters, police, military) but if a man does treat a woman as an equal, from not opening a door for a female to striking back when hit, then the man is wrong.

Take opening the door as an example: A few years back I was going in a building and held the door for a female coming up as she was holding a small package under one arm. When she got close she berated me, telling me that she doesn't need my help, that she is just as capable as taking care of herself as any man. Great.

Next time that happened I didn't hold the door and was berated for not holding the door.

Darned if you do, darned if you don't.

There are no rules anymore.
