Quote:If you cant do anything to get them off of you or away from you and theyre beating you, hitting is justified.


I know a guy, smaller dude, got into an argument with his girlfriend in his apartment. She got super violent and started whaling on him. He was physically incapable of getting her off of him or getting out of the room while she was doing this so he just tried to cover up and take the blows because the world told him that hitting back is the "white trash way of thinking". He was concussed, missing a tooth and currently blind in one eye because she was raining shots at him with a ring on.


Im not defending Joe Mixon he was wrong, and hitting anyone when theres an alternative solution is wrong. Often in these situations there is an alternative solution but people take the "easy" way out. But on some occasions there arent alternate solutions. Sometimes you are in a position to be harmed and theres nothing you can do but hit back, so these sweeping generalizations can kick rocks.
