Protecting our wives and spouses!

Just wondering the approach we would take when we are really pushed to the wall.

In a gathering where you have a moving throng...and some nut like that punches your wife hard in the face. Nose bleeds.

Would you seek for peace and let the man simply walk away? A test of faith??

Whatever decision is a decision or revenge

1 I will simply ignore him and we walk away
2 Sue and have him jailed for at least a year
3 May God judge you
4 Return the punch
 
Push me to the wall for any reason and one of us is going to get hurt. Thank goodness it takes an aweful lot to get me there, but I've never removed it as an option.

Mess with my wife and you will get hurt... Been there done that and wouldn't think twice about doing it again.

As far as your above scenereo, punching back and kicking the snot out of the guy on the spot isn't revenge. Its standing up and protecting her. Its about defending her.

That's right. An instantaneous response is not revenge, it's defense and honor. Walking away for any reason and then planning something to do to them as a punitive measure (even suing them) would be revenge and against the will of God.
 
Walking away is by itself a criminal offence. Returning the punch is 'taking the laws into your own hands'...(let the cops do it)
May God judge him? We have a Merciful GOd. I may not be satisfied.

As for me I'd get him arrested
 
If my husband gets punched that'd definitely not the time to walk away in peace. I guess returning the punch in such a situation would probably get me arrested alongside the other guy but it'd probably not get me to jail.

If you return the punch you might be considered as defending yourself.How do you know that he doesn't have a knife or a gun.Anger can be very dangerous.

Criminal offense? Maybe to the wife or community. In that light I would agree.

I agree. You *probably* wouldn't be arrested. I decked a woman once for hurting my child and she called the police. I wasn't arrested. Even if I were to be arrested for such a situation as this...so what. Honor is worth more than freedom or money.

Of course I don't know. Well, where I live he'd be rather unlikely to have a gun. But he still might have a knife, or might illegally carry their gun in public. Anyway, a situation like that isn't something where you'd react in a rational way.
 
Even if he has a gun or knife, most of fighting is psychological. He slaps/punches your wife and you react so fast and viciously that you may win anyway. he might not have time to get it out at that point, or he'd have to go defensive himself because you turned the tables on him and defensively went on the offense, being the aggressor at that point.

:angry3:thud:yes

Maybe.....there have been several news stories around here of someone getting angry when driving.Take out a gun and shoot them.

I saw a woman put herself between an eleven yr. old child and a man threatening that child with a knife.
That same woman protected me from that same man only this time she had a 357mg in her hand.
I will be eternally grateful to her for the courage that she showed both times when she faced this 6'4', 220 lb, raging man. The damage that was done to me that night would have been much worse if she had not done what she did.

I had a guy flash a gun at me once at a red light. I'm not sure what his problem was, I didn't do anything to him. I was armed but i didn't want a shoot out at the red light. I clipped a guys bumper getting out of there but really didn't care at the time. :sorry :neutral

Sometimes there is not a problem.They are just in a rage.We live in a scary world.I had a guy start yelling at me once in a gas station.On drugs? I don't know but I do know that it was very,very scary.You just do not know what they are going to do.

And that's probably the reason we shouldn't attack back immediately. No one knows how dangerous these nuts are. Some of them may consider their lives worthless and are ready to waste precious ones.
 
Yep. The worlds full of unpredictable people. But if a guy punches my girl, the response has to be immediate and severe. He didn't just 'punch my girl' He attacked her. If a man displays a willingness to be violent and strike out at someone, then it's reasonable to assume that he may continue to be violent, hence the immediate response.

Come on ladies, if a man punched you and your man was right there...how many of you would want him to walk away?

Whaaat? So if a guy punches my girl, then I'm to go running up the street, help help call 911? :eek:nonono

brother, it may sound bad to attack the guy back, but this is a serious situation, exigent circumstances. Like you say, No one knows how dangerous the nut is, so an immediate response is called for at that time. That's my WIFE we're talking about!
 
Well. I know diddly about the law. However returning the punch is also considered unlawful. Both of you would be charged. Not always the case of who hit first: magnitude of damage is considered.
