I'm not saying that nothing should be done, I just think stomping the head of an already unconscious dude is totally uncalled for, even if he did hit a woman (once, without even knocking her out). Maybe if he was in the process of beating the shit out of her, and I had to intervene with any level of force necessary to save the woman, sure - I'd find the nearest tire iron and beat the fucker to a pulp if need be. Chasing the guy down (which pretty much waives any legal justification, BTW) and scrambling his brains like that, though ... maybe I'm not enough of a sexist to see the justification for it.
That being said, my inner, primal self still found it kind of awesome.
yeah i kinda agree. i was alright with it up to the head stomp -- that was a bit out of control. a proper humiliating beat down in front of your friends is warranted. leave the guy with a broken nose and some bruised ribs to think about over the next several weeks. but don't leave the guy with brain damage. not because i have much sympathy for him (i don't), but you just leave yourself open to some serious felony assault charges. plus, at what point does it stop being about standing up for the woman and turn into and expression of your own rage/machismo/alphamale bs?
if it were me, i'd knock or choke the guy out, tie him up, sit on his chest until the cops arrive and call it a citizens arrest. after offering the lady a wicked shot to his nads, and then cracking a few ribs of course. a nice little reminder every time you cough, laugh, sneeze, hiccup, or just breathe really deep -- for the next 2 months.
