OT: Joe Mixon Punch Video Released

[Dingaan1828]

All kidding aside, it's hard for me to imagine myself at that age NOT punching anyone who spit on me. The words wouldn't trigger me, but the spit flying in my direction would have definitely triggered a violent reaction. I'm not defending Mixon because he was wrong in hitting her, just as I would have been wrong under similar circumstances. I'm not proud of it, just saying I can relate to the triggering actions at that age.

He hit her as if she was a 200 pound man. Even if you think a physical response was warranted, his reaction was in no way commensurate with the threat.

 

[Dingaan1828]

From her point of view, this should be a great example of actions having consequences. Assuming that Mixon was 100% wrong in hitting her, she still suffered significant personal injuries caused by her actions. So, for her, it doesn't really matter whether his reaction was right or wrong.

That stupid, racist b*tch got exactly what she deserved. Period. End of f*cking discussion.

Ignorant.

So then every time a black guy cat calls a white woman walking by and refers to her in a negative light, he deserves to have his face broken? I'll remember that.

I'm not here to say who is and isn't wrong.

I am here to say hay actions have consequences. Perhaps both will learn a lesson from this.

It's that mindset that leads to domestic violence later in life. No age is it ok. No age should trigger such a violent reaction like that. All that shows is you are NOT in control of your emotions and actions......aka, you are reckless. If you want to be treated like an adult at 18, you must act like one.

Exactly. If I have a c0cktail and get behind the wheel I deserve to get rear-ended at a stop light by a tractor trailer driver, who hasn't slept in a week, and paralyzed from the neck down.

Well, I didn't say it was ok, and it isn't a mindset either. It's about impulse control, and 18 year olds aren't really known to have much of it. It's part of growing up. Actions have consequences. Learning that is essential to maturing as a person. Even though I'm an old guy, I still have those triggers inside me. I understand them now, and almost all are completely disarmed. Again that comes from appreciating that actions have consequences.

This thread took a quick detour into Nigel Bethel Land with some on you and the justifications for laying out a woman. Good stuff! Diversity of thought is what makes CIS great.

Try this one. You walk down a street and see a guy with a gun standing on the corner. You walk up to him, shove him and spit in his face. He's not supposed to shoot you, but he does.

Sadly, this is a race/cultural/socioeconomic issue. If you grew up watching big ol Madea trading hands with mens or trashy dentally disadvantaged hayseeds slapping the **** out of each other on Jerry Springer, you think this sort of behavior is acceptable or justifiable. "She hit me I kills da bytch!"

Generally speaking, the more socially, educationally, and economically disadvantaged you are the more likely you are to punch a much smaller woman, who poses no physical threat to you, in the face really hard.

Try this one. Your daughter goes out with a dude that has a ****. She ends up making out with him but says to stop as he attempts to go for more. He's not supposed to rape her, but he does.

Your impulse control arguments here really lead to a slippery slope of justifications or placing the onus of greater responsibility on the victim. And I say that as someone that thinks red blooded males on college campuses are too often scapegoated and blamed for things but ya still gotta be careful in what you start to excuse or attempt to understand in these extreme incidences.

I'd have to hear the whole conversation about what happened. Only excuse to deck a woman like that is if she poses a threat against your life - which doesn't look to fit the case here. She pushes him, then slaps him, then she gets dropped. Don't think that was enough to warrant Mixon hitting her like she's a dude.

And a racial slur too

So what! That's still a woman bro. obviously your father/mother never taught you to respect women

I'm a father of two daughters, so I definitely don't condone his actions, but it's apparent that her parents didn't teach her to respect people either or she wouldn't have found herself in this situation. She acted entitled and without a thought for the consequences.

This vide alone is going to haunt him for the rest of his life. Think about any woman he's with in the future. Is she going to always be living in fear he may snap again one day? Also if he ever has kids imagine what they will think. Sure we have young posters on here who still think this kind of action is justified but that's more about them not being mature enough to understand what he did. I'm sure when he actually grows up he's going to be ashamed of himself. Think about what his mom must think when she's see's her son do this.

Absolutely is a mindset.....cultured and reinforced by the way you are raise. 18 year olds should have plenty of impulse control.....12 year old shouldn't. 18 year olds know it's wrong to steal, 12 year olds may not understand consequences. 18 years olds carrying a gun do it for a reason and understand the lethality.....12 year olds think it's cool and they are playing GI Joe.

He was in no danger. None. A drunk girl flails a bit......oooh, fear for your life! What if a 14-15 year old girl did the same (not being drunk obviously)? Or a 60 year old woman? Would it change your opinion?

People with low impulse control consistently end up on the lower socioeconomic rungs. Our jails are full of them. There is no question that if you have poor self control you almost always end up being a have-not.

That's why it's so easy to tell who the losers in life are by the responses in this thread.

Try this. You chase an intoxicated woman half your size into a sandwich shop at 2:30 am to continue some sort of altercation. The altercation, which could have been avoided had you opted not to follow her into the sandwich shop, predictably escalates and you wind up breaking her face to smithereens because you're a half-retarded coward.
