I may just be a coward calling names from behind a keyboard.

Tell ya what I'm not though... A 5'4 120 lb woman. I might just also be the one who teaches homegirl what can happen to her when you follow someone into a parking lot and physically assault them.

That whole you never know who you're dealing with can go both ways.

So maybe next time momma can just roll eyes and go about her business being the better person.

Now you sound like the other woman. Can't you pick a side?

Please elanorate...

I'm going to go ahead and assume that my statement of how I would defend myself if I was assaulted in a parking lot is what you're referring to. Which if that's the case you can go ahead and save it because that is completely asinine. We really do live on completely different planets if you're going to compare stalking and assaulting a stranger to defending yourself against said assault. Though I suppose that would be pretty much in line with the rest of your stances regarding the situation so I doubt anybody will be surprised. I certainly won't.

Sure, the mom will probably get in trouble for it, but that doesn't make what the instigator said right in the end either. The whole situation could have been avoided if the instigator would have kept her mouth shut. Instead, she ran it, got knocked the hell down by someone who had enough of it, and now gets to play the victim. That's how this country works now. People have keyboard mentality, which means they think they can say to someone in public what they may type on an anonymous site, and no one is going to do anything about it. She found out real quick that she should have kept her mouth shut, but instead she's the victim. If I tell someone to go to hell, in public, I better be ready for what comes my way, and so should anyone else. The thing is, I've got enough personal restraint that I'm not going to do that in public, therefore removing the problem before it starts. How anyone doesn't see that the instigator is the real problem here is beyond me? It's not OK to tell someone to go to hell, and not expect anything in return. Instead people are telling her she is in the right, and the woman beating her ass is not. So, in the future, the instigator is going to continue her dumbassery, and will be able to play victim again if she chooses to go down this path. Of course, maybe just maybe the chick who beat her down might have knocked some sense into her, and she might think twice about it.

I wasn't present at the situation so I don't feel comfortable labeling either as the "instigator". Telling the mom to "go to hell" was definitely wrong, but in my experience "go to hell" is generally a response, hinting that the mother said something that prompted the lady to say "go to hell". If she truly wanted to verbally belittle the woman, language far more creative could have been used.

Being completely honest, if "go to hell" is the best someone has to offer, I feel like I've already won. That's what you say when you know you've lost.

Telling someone "go to hell" is certainly not enough of a provocation to deserve a physical beating.

Verbally pushing someone is just as bad as physically doing it. It gets the same results most of the time.

No, it isn't just as bad. It's not even close. If the words of a stranger can cause you to snap, then you are guilty of hiding away deeper issues than you're willing to admit. If that's the case with the mom, she should have been dealing with those issues through therapy that doesn't involve physical assault.

Honestly, saying it's okay to beat a woman for telling you to go to hell is equivalent to saying it's okay to shoot someone for giving you the bird in rush hour traffic. It makes zero sense.

My entire point in all of this is this....

If you don't know what kind of day someone is having, what issues they might be dealing with, and how bad their kid has been all day long, then don't open your mouth and allow someone to snap. If the arrogant woman had kept her mouth shut, then the other one wouldn't have snapped at her, and beat her ass. Do I think the other woman should have beat her ass, well no, but I honestly don't think that the arrogant "go to hell" woman was as nice as she said she was either. Either way, don't give someone an avenue to be an idiot, and definitely don't mess with them while their kid is throwing a tantrum in a retail store line. If you start down the "go to hell" road, you better be prepared for what might come your way, it's just part of it. People keep talking about the other woman having restraint, but no one wants to lay any of the blame on the one who started it, which is asinine because she had none to start with.

You know, this is like the 3rd time I`ve seen this sentiment expressed. Its like the person being affected by the distraction has be considerate of them and what type of day they are having, but the same courtesy isn`t extended or understood going the other way.

So let's say the lady kept her mouth shut. Mom doesn't lose her cool on her. But you're still suggesting the mother must have had a pretty bad day and was bound to lose it on someone if she was wound that tight. Where's the accountability of the mom? Words were not enough to justify escalating the situation. The lady shouldn't have told her to "go to hell", but that isn't provocation enough to justify the jump in the level of response.

And no one "allowed" her to snap. She chose not to use restraint. I could be called every name in the book(and have been a time or two), but I choose how I respond. No one else is responsible for my actions but me. I don't believe in giving people excuses to fall back on. Own your actions. Be responsible and accountable for what you do. You help no one by giving them excuses to act poorly.

I think all the arguers should meet at the next game in Neyland and have an arm wrestling competition or a kick in the nads contest.

Somebody tells me my opinion is dumb, I'm going to argue about it, especially if it's common sense. I dropped the subject 2 days ago, until I see my name mentioned in 2 posts by 2 posters, along with the word "dumb". Go figure, those posts are still there and I'm the bad guy again.

No arm wrestling for me though. I'm going to just hope to see the videos when one of the nobody can touch me due to my words loudmouths yaps to the wrong person on the wrong day. Sounds like they need to be taught a lesson on how not to speak to people and I imagine that would sink in. Just as I bet cash $ the victim of the assault in this case doesn't speak to a mother that way again, and she probably won't ever take another beating either.

So...................changing the subject, but in a relevant way, what if you had a neighbor who's dog starts barking loudly at 2 a.m. It's still going on an hour later. Next night, same thing. What do you do? And, yes, I think it's in the same vein.

May not be pretty, but just looking for some responses on it. I don't anticipate being called any kind of name for posing the question, so it should be good.
