This is interesting and very thought provoking. It is a very deep and extremely serious subject. I can see both points of view. Cultural differences are something that is easy to overlook and easy to misunderstand.
The age of chivalry may not be dead, but it can be deadly.

I can see where he might see the need to defend his wife if the perps were doing something that made her feel like she was in danger....I just feel that it could have been handled differently. Im sure his wife is up crying every night wishing he would have just walked away with her.

I think I know what Angus is talking about ....
It's the sort of attitude you used to see in the Australian cricket team.
Apart from the fact they've just lost 3 in a row @ home.. |

This thread is indeed very sad and touching. Nobody deserves to die in a street fight. Nobody
