I'm foolish because I'm in camp C? On the scale of opinions it's pretty much the closest one to yours without agreeing with you.
FOOL

Like hell you didn't:
Oh for Christ sakes Moose, stop trying to start an argument over semantics. I explained what I meant in my response, but you want to lock on to words that are not perfectly phrased. That does not say that the reason he punched her is that she boxed him out. It says that boxing him out neither makes her a piece of shit or gives him a reason to punch her. And if that line was unclear to you, you could have read the rest of the response and saw it more fully explained as a counter to some other point you were trying to stretch beyond recognition.
As usual, you are trying to put words in my mouth that I did not say. I never said that "he tried to push past her and then sucker punched her when she turned around to ask him to stop." She turned around and said something to him and raised her hand. He grabbed her wrists. She felt threatened and took a swing at him, and then he punched her in the face."
Unless you have the world's worst short term memory, you knew that I clarified the point in the same post. I do not think I have ever met someone who more likes to argue over dumb shit.
Sorry. Had to pause and laugh at you.
So now the size or strength of someone needs to be factored? Suggesting that because he is big > he was not threatened is pure stupidity. Then you top it off suggesting she should not be charged.
This is some classic SJW logic here. Nice job.
Quite the arrogance from such a little mind. Absolutely size should be taken into account, as should gender. You believe a 13 year old girl throws a punch at you, you should retaliate? Of course, this example assumes you aren't also a 13 year old girl which may not be ruled out by your posts.
Cheers
Is this hypothetical girl wearing a Trojan sweatshirt???

I don't know man she's not even a threat. Kick her in her stupid face.
I'm thankful for these posts. Stuff gets way to serious sometimes.

No. You are foolish because you think everyone in Camp D is misguided.
1. I'm a lawyer. You're misguided.
2. See 1

Are you saying that your professional opinion is that it is illegal to return a punch if someone punches you first?
It is illegal to punch that girl the way that she was punched in this particular situation.
It is illegal because of the force of the punch, because she has ovaries, or......... ?

Because it was not a proportional response to the inciting punch, which has been stated at least 6 times on this thread so far. You have a right to respond with proportional force if you're under a reasonable belief that you're under threat of bodily injury. Even if he can show that he was under reasonable belief that he was under threat, which would be difficult since he was physically controlling the entire situation, he can't show that he used proportional force to free himself from that threat.
A punch in response to a punch is not proportional? From what I have read, proportionality refers mostly to lethal vs. non-lethal force, or as I mentioned before, hitting someone on the head with a hammer because they punched you. How can you legislate and legally hold someone responsible for the force of the instigating punch vs. the force of the retaliatory punch? Manny Pacquiao is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than Jeremy Shockey, but I guarantee you that Manny hits harder than Jeremy. Jackie Chan is 5'9" and 190 lbs........ so a 6'2",250 lb guy has to pull his punches if they fight, or face being prosecuted?
Hypothetically let's say someone's wife kicks him in the ribs twice and in the head twice. Husband gets up, throws her to the ground, and kicks her in the ribs twice, and head twice. Woman dies. Do you think he would be convicted of murder or would this be self defense?
How about you answer my question first, instead of trying to deflect?
