[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3294187, member: 43724"] Answer me this: if that had been a 110 lb beanpole guy who attacked Mixon, would you say he shouldn't have swung because he is stronger? Hell, even the arresting deputy had stated that the only reason he got charged was his attacker was a female. Does Mixon being an in shape, strong, athlete put him in a separate class of people that have less rights to defend themself because they are typically stronger than other people? If that's the case than we shouldn't be allowed to shoot someone who comes at us with a knife. The firearm is giving us an unfair advantage, at least that is the argument here. The fact of the matter is she hit him in the face, grabbed his throat at which point he hit her once and backed off when she was no longer a threat. He didn't hit first. The biggest mistake he made was not walking away, but come on, he was 19 at the time and that age is not known for making the brightest decisions. If that female had been a male with a similar build Mixon would be hailed as showing restraint in just throwing one punch. I guess this is a dead horse that has little flesh left to beat. You may disagree with me, that's fine. But I was taught, as I said, by my own mother that if a woman attacks me I have the right to defend myself. After seeing how women fight and the damage they can inflict on guys who are stronger than them, I'll listen to my mom over anyone else's misguided thoughts of chivalry in that type of situation.
