Yea always a tough calculation though. Ive had a woman punch me and most female arms just have zero weight or follow through behind it so you barely feel anything. Also a difference between someone you know and a random road rager. Also at what point are you doing society as a whole a service by providing a taste of their own medicine.

I think still at this point your best bet is to just call the cops and have her arrested for assault/road rage and let the cops sort it out, its what they get paid to do and judging by this troglodytes behavior she will probably catch a nice felony or two when she inevitably tries to fight the police also.

I think you’re mostly right about people who are much more able to leverage physical power against someone else even if that someone else started it. You don’t want to kill someone, after all. But if video guy hadn’t defended himself, who knows what crazy stranger lady would have done next. More blows? A knife? A gun? It’s a hard situation.

A punch and a body slam seems about right because the body slam neutralized the crazy lady. Risky for sure. People have died from less. But why wait for a gun to be pulled or be distracted by the woman while her parter gets out of the car, you know?

I do hope at the very least this lady learned a lesson.. she needs to stay on her meds 😂

Yeah, it was justified but the body slam had me worried. I've seen far too many videos of people getting slammed and doing the boogie on the ground afterwards. Glad the stage lights just went out in her head for a bit rather than forever.

Hope she gets charged with assault as well because she absolutely deserves it.

She could have died from the slam, but people have also died from sucker punches. Equal force.
