His punch was not a proportional response it was violence. That's why it site uneasy with me. A proportional response would be to restrain her hands. The guy is scum.

I hate comments like this. You can't say the guy is scum off of a 10 second video. Did he make a scummy move, sure. But one bad move doesn't make a person scum.

Thank you. I hate them too. It seems to be a very common response. "This guy is scum." No, people make mistakes. Should he face consequences? Yes. Should he be judged as a person and bear the title of "scum" for the rest of his life? No.
