Was I Right To Hit Her?

Question

Me, My Bestfriend and Our Mates where just sitting at maccas car park chilling two nights ago. And out of nowhere my best friends girlfriend comes and starts screaming at him. I dont know why.

I could see he was embaressed, AND THEN i saw her hit him over and over again,
Infront of everyone. I GAVE HER THREE WARNINGS TO LEAVE HIM ALONE.

She just kept hitting him, it soon became those ******* fight circles where people were coming out of maccas and cars to see.

When he was younger he got hit so much by his dad, and he couldnt hit back, he had to sit there and take every punch, every belting. To see that ***** hit him the way she did got me so mad.

I grabed her by the shirt and punched her in the mouth NUMEROUS TIMES, i dont know why but i couldnt stop hitting her. I reckon i would of killed her if people didnt pull me back. Police came and everything,

Im currently getting sued, I believed there was a right to what i was doing, does anyone else?

Iv known him for 11 years, i would run to the gates of hell for him.

Answer 1

i can understand why you got so angry. but she wasn't hitting you, so you can't claim self defense. she probably had a reason for hitting, same as you, so if you think about it, you could be as bad as her. plus, if you wanted her to stop, you could've just pulled her away and maybe hit her once or twice. but continuously hitting her? that was way out of line and i think you deserve what you're getting, not just because she's a woman, but because technically, it had nothing to do with you and you acted almost as bad as she did (maybe worse) :(

Answer 2

Hi,
Well first of all you never said if you were a boy,or girl.Not that it really matters.
If he has problems with his past because of his dad,than he really needs to get help.
If for know other reason than not to keep
allowing himself to keep getting abused.
Why did he keep taking it from his dad? Why didn't he seek help from someone?
Now I have learned one thing in my life ,don't hit unless you want to get hit.And if you do,make sure you are in the right before you do.Now days that doesn't quite
work out that way.A man should never hit a women-girl.He should protect himself though.One should always treat others as,he would want them to treat him.Know what I mean.
You are being sued for what hitting her.I would gather me some witness'es to go to
court for me.Someone who seen all that
went on.Why isn't he sueing her for hitting
him.Men have just as much rights as women do to day in the courts.Did she hit you too? If so ,than she is as guilty as you are.I'd talk to a good lawyer.
Believe me ,I've had my share of alot of fights in my past.The last one being about 5 years ago.I am now 63 years old,almost 64 yrs.Soooooooo Get your head together
and take care of bussiness. I am also a
woman.Also a christain now.

Answer 3

I can understand why you hit her. It's a reasonable human reaction, but since you did more than just separate her from your friend and continued to punch her, I'm afraid you will end up in some hot water over this. I wish you all the best with it though.

Answer 4

No, you were wrong. No matter how bad she was, you were still wrong. You should have called the police in the first place to have her arrested, and so he could sue her if he so desired. Two wrongs don't make a right. Hitting someone is never justified unless it is self defense, and you were not defending yourself to save your life. You were just furious because she was awful to your friend. Even though you had every right to be upset, your actions were very wrong.

Answer 5

i think you were absolutely right. he was your best friend. how could you or anyone else just sit on and enjoy while your best buddy is being strangulated.and as far as that sueing thing goes, do not plead guilty in the court, and instead ask your friend to sue that *****. do tell the judge in session to hear all three sides of the story, yours, hers and the correct coz there may be witnesses who may have seen you in varying positions and may have misunderstood the situation. so go ahead ateend the court hearings, and do not get aggresive as this may forego the harm to you.
gud luck.

Answer 6

you just did an incredibly brave thing but i think you over did it also. hitting her might get you into a lot of trouble. i guess you were just overwhelmed by your emotions, your mind blacked out that was why you were able to do that, punched her numerous times. you may say that you were just trying to defend your friend but i don't think that will suit well in court.

i believe you were right in defending your friend but not so right in hitting your best friend's girlfriend. i just hope and pray that you get out of this tight situation.

Answer 7

You were way out of line.....especially taking it to the level you did.
There is no excuse for hitting a woman. Protecting someone else comes close, but not in your case from how you laid out the circumstances.

Answer 8

you are a true person. you really like this boy that why you protected him. i HATE people that do that to other people. i would of done the same thing if i was you. you are a true true person. listen once you are in court tell the Truth say what you have said to this message. good luck to ya and i respect you for doing that.

Answer 9

No. You had no business to meddle. At best you could have protected your mate from her assaults by grabbing her for some time ,till tempers cooled.

Answer 10

i can see why you reacted like that, but you probly only should of either slapped her or just punches her once, going over and over is a lil exsessive so i can see why you might be in a bit of trouble
