A lot can be said without saying anything back. Too many variables in all these hypotheticals. Would I say something back- eh depends on if kids are with me. I can speak back- if he thinks it's ok to verbally attack my wife I can use verbal skills as well. My vocabulary would undoubtedly trump his. And it doesn't have to be all f this and f you. Sometimes killing them with kindness makes them think harder about the situation once it's ended than if you spouted off garbage same as the offender. But don't get it twisted, I'm down for throwing hands in a Winn Dixie ....
You can stand up for your wife, mom, sister, whoever without throwing a fist. I think that is a point that folks such as woodie are trying to make
"They are who we thought they were"
You can dress a fat chick up, but you cant fix stupid
Exactly. Big difference between throwing down in the Winn Dixie and staring at the floor until the bad man goes away.
Several have mentioned kids. What are you teaching your kids if they are with you and they watch you just stare at the ground and hope he goes away. I teach my boy that he best not ever start anything but that if someone starts something with him, I expect him to finish it. Not only that I want him willing to stand up for his friends when confronted with a bully.
I'll admit that it is different when you are 40 years old and more mature. But the only way to deal with a bully in school is to stand up to him and beat his ass. I can't ask my son to do that I'd he sees me doing the opposite.
Nothing annoys me more to hear about the bullying epidemic. Bullies have always existed. Always will. But schools have adopted polices that both kids are punished equally if they throw a punch. Bullshit. The one that starts it should be held accountable.
I was kinda playing devils advocate, and I understand how his actions constitute presenting if he were on public property, but he his on his own property. Is he not allowed to pull a gun out in his own yard? He never actually pointed it at the neighbor.
All of you who would let someone call your wife a slut and just laugh it off are in the same league as Cpl. Upham.

You let a man disrespect your wife in front of you in the scenario described and you don't feed him his teeth you're a bitch boy plain and simple and your wife deserves better..
Plus - whooping a mans ass every now and then is a helluva a lot of fun. Don't let the opportunity pass you by. Some ol redneck ain't gunna sue you or call the cops..

Where do you people go to have your wife insulted?
After he called the shooter's wife a slut and he jumped the fence to give him an ass whopping the old guy could have justifiably killed him with snub nose but he would have defended his wife until he died.
The best way to handle that was buy the rental property and evict the old geezer years ago.

Are you staying that if the young guy jumped the fence to fight the old man and didn't have a gun the old man can't justifiably shoot him? If so, that is simply false, just ask George Zimmerman. The key is if a person is in fear for their life or those imediatley around them, 'weapon' or no weapon, although a fist certainly qualifies as a weapon.

I do not know the law like some of the people on here but I don't think that is true. Are you saying the old man has to wait to be clocked in the face before he can defend himself? Again, IMO (could be wrong) if a person is in fear of their life, they can legally defend themselves. If a 300lb dude high on bath salts is running right at you to eat your face, do you have to wait until he tackles you to draw your weapon and attempt to defend yourself?
