This man was in his car driving around when the altercation began.
No; he was at a stop sign when the altercation began; and the altercation started with them blocking his way and trying to prevent him from exiting the vehicle, which he was able to do regardless.
So,why not get back in if you are having a problem and leave?
Because they're blocking his way.
He then spit in her face.Why,that's uncalled for?
No, no-no-NO! SHE spat at HIM, which legally qualifies as assault in both America and Canada.
So,she started hitting him which was wrong,so,then he punches her instead of just walking away.
No, he punched her after security was there (twiddling their thumbs and looking useless) and were unable to prevent her from getting passed them, afterward she jumping on him when his back was turned while trying to re-enter his vehicle. There is no possible way you can twist this so that Jericho was doing more than defending himself. Personally, I find it impressive that he was essentially able to fight off a mob AND bitch to security to do their damn jobs, especially considering that as far as wrestlers or even human beings go, Jericho is NOT a big man.
They both were wrong and two wrongs do not make a right but he did not have to punch her.
He doesn't have to breathe either, but his body in the form of both fear and anger will tell him that it's probably a good idea. Sure, there may be consequences, but at least he'll know he'll live to deal with them.[/quote]
That is unacceptable in my book.Now to answer your question I have been slapped in the face many times and hit in the head with a bottle and a girl once wanted to fight me and every time I simply walked away.
Walking away IS the right thing to do....when you can. Which Jericho could not. The fact that the police took the woman and her boyfriend into custody and not Jericho I think is telling of whether or not they thought he could walk away.
I do not like fighting.I do every possible thing to avoid it but my mother was abused for years and I have been abused too and there is one reason I will fight and that's if I ever see a man hitting a woman.There is no reason for it.If the security guards didn't do their job call the police.
I'm sorry to hear that as I can somewhat sympathize (in school I was CONSTANTLY being physically bullied especially by girls who seemed to get their kicks from making my life hell but remember, you can't 'hit a girl' and I should just 'man up' according to school counselors and teachers) but now we see the problem; you're identifying with the woman because you were both smacked around. The difference is that you and your mother were
victims. The woman was part of a mob that was doing everything in its power to intimidate, abuse, and outright bully Chris Jericho. And when one, who happened to be the woman, initiated physical contact meant to be harmful, she brought any and all consequences on herself.
Jericho wouldn't be the first wrestler, or even the first entertainer to be killed by an angry mob; wasn't John Lennon shot while signing autographs? Whether it was a woman or man was the furthest thought from Jericho's mind.
