Sure somebody can. But that person runs the risk of sounding like they are justifying Fowler's actions. Your first post I responded to read just like that. You acknowledged it wasn't the smartest thing he did, but when on to point out hypotheticals that would seemingly put Fowler in a better light. If you were responding directly to someone asking how this happened, it would have read differently.

If we knew exactly what was said, then I'd tell you straight up if I was going to justify Fowler's actions.

While you aren't suppose to put hands on somebody because of words, there's absolutely some words that can be said, which can be justified by chin checking somebody.

There isn't many words and normally I'd say to just walk away, but there's few instances where walking away just isn't going to happen. As an example for me, my father passed away last year unexpectedly and if somebody were to start spouting off negativity about my father to my face. You can bet I'm going to take action, as that's still a very touchy subject for me.

Further more, you asked me why I'm dwelling on this, when you're the one who seems to really be dwelling on this. Are you in the group of people on this board who seem to think Fowler is the scum of the earth for this? And trying to make it out like he beat this guy down into a bloody pulp?
