Re: Okay...

I think you should safely assume that everyone on this list abhors physical
confrontations, and this guy claiming he was provoked and deserves an apology is
lame.
 
Why did you even ask the question they way you did?  I cannot help feel you were
trolling for someone to defend the guy.
 
Having said that, the meme that this was a ‘head stomp’ really is incorrect, but
I don’t blame you for that…it was in my opinion excessive force to restrain
someone who was not a clear threat.

Okay...is it really unreasonable to say that if you stomp on someone's head that
they do not owe you an apology?
