Guy driving through DC with a Cowboys flag on his car has it ripped off by a man crossing the street. Cowboy fans gets out of the car walks over and slugs the man. Cowboy fans picks up flag, gets back in car and continues on his way.

The guy got what he deserved.
I tell my kids this all the time: Don't mess with other people's stuff! If it ain't yours don't touch it.

I love the Skins and hate the Cowboys.....but that guy deserved exactly what he got. Dummy.

Ripping something off somebody's car is just stupid.

Retaliating by punching somebody in the face is assault.

At least he didn't shoot the guy.

Fair point.

 

[Simon_Cowbell]

Addressing any stranger while driving is the very height of American stupidity.

You are simply asking to get shot.

Keep your eyes on the road and shut the **** up.

My thoughts exactly.

If everyone carried guns, this wouldn't have happened.

In this case, the Cowboys fan could argue vandalization of property on the part of the Redskins fan.

Don't know if that'd be considered self-defense, but the Redskins fan sure as hell wasn't an innocent victim of some random dude punching his lights out.

Never said he was an innocent victim, but it still doesn't justify assault. Both guys are in the wrong on this one.

Technically, that's true. But that doesn't mean the Skins fan didn't get what he deserved. Now....if the Skins fan would have fallen and cracked his head open on the sidewalk, needed surgery and eventually died...I'd be singing a different tune for sure. But he didn't, so he got what he deserved, right or wrong.

It was a flag on his car. It's not like he smashed in a window or something. You want to talk about vandalization of property? Fine. Call a cop.

Sure it was a **** move, but we don't get to punch every person who acts like an asshole. Imagine the fights over people repeatedly blocking other fans views at sporting events alone if we did.

Simple rule to live by, if you don't want to get punched out don't be a douchebag.

So where's the line drawn, then? If a simple team flag doesn't warrent a punch, what's the least that could happen that would?

Then again, if people would mind their own business and keep their hands to themselves, none of this would happen.

Nice rule. Ignores the law and the fact that people sometimes get punched out without being a douchebag, but nice.

How about not punching people unless it is to protect yourself, someone else around you or your home?

Again, I never said the guy who pulled the flag off wasn't an ass, but he isn't the only one who is in the wrong here.

Fair enough. And I'm not saying I would have done the same thing. I just don't blame him for punching the guy. Not at all.

Not saying punching the guy was the right move there, but do you really think a cop would have dropped what he was doing to hunt down the flag-ripper and bring him to justice?

Also fair enough. I do blame him. It's a ****ing flag on his car, not something worth assaulting another human being. Even if the other human being is an asshole.

I'm saying it's a much more reasonable response than assault. Getting over the stupid ****ing flag and moving on with life would also qualify as a more reasonable response than assault.
