How big a pussy are you that words make you punch someone? Eh, doesn't seem so unreasonable.

It does when you are a 27 year old man, the the person saying the word is 77 years old.

I don't know man...maybe it's just because I'm a big guy and always had to be careful in situations like this, but the idea that I'd ever haul off and crack someone who simply said something insulting to me is as foreign a concept as they come to me.

Defend myself from an actual physical attack? Sure...100%. Proactively hit someone because they said things to me I didn't like? frick no.

He did not mean to kill him. He punched him. That it resulted in death can hardly be ascribed to his intentions.

In what situation would you find it acceptable to punch a 77 year old man in the jaw?

I don’t want to hear that word either, the irony is if I punched somebody for saying it, odds are I would be the one labeled racist.
