Yes, he was warned, he crossed the line there must be consequences. Im not saying we shouldnt be beyond that stage in our evolutionary progress but the fact remains we are not. The men that are willing to behave in such a manner aka grabbing someones a$$, are the same men that will only respond to a beat down, anything less and they think they got away with it and will continue to do so.
I'm sorry but that is just how it is.
So why not give a consequence that will last a lifetime? Having a criminal record is hard to explain away in a job interview.
Want to be a teacher, well, an assault conviction is pretty much going to eliminate that possibility.
Pressing charges and getting a convicted is a lesson that keeps on giving.
Whereas; if the boyfriend goes after the guy, he's the one in jail.

Wow, what a obviously biased and erroneous conclusion.
Nothing he posted indicates that she enjoys it.
All his posts indicate that she isn't very good at standing up for herself. Could be because there are people like you who would assume that she is asking to be sexually harassed and won't believe her.

Mostly I'm a pacifist. But I'd be pretty embarassed if the man I was with didn't take action over some guy grabbing my @ss, and telling me I looked like I wanted a [censored word].
In the end it's the difference that's as old as time itself. I can protect myself, but only so far. There aretimes when a man can protect you best and that would be one of them. Even if it's just to THREATEN a mashing vs actually giving one.
I couldn't condone a true mashing. I don't like violence and most of all, I wouldn't want the man I was with to end up in jail. But physical intimidation of a loser has it's place. This would be one of them.
Yep, this pretty much sums up how I feel. I can stand up for myself, but if my guy was with me and another guy treated me with total disrespect I would want him to step in. But I would hope that it could end before punches were thrown for a couple of reasons. One, I wouldn't want my guy to be arrested. Second, because someone stupid and cowardly enough to cause the trouble in the first place is someone that I could see deciding after being taken down publicly to "get even" in his own way when my guy isn't around. I'd be looking over my shoulder wondering what his next move would be to try to regain some of his ego.

And the conviction rate is what 10%? If its his first offense then it will get pleaded down to a misdemenor/slap on the wrist and maybe a forced conseling session that wont be affective at all. If he has friends in the system it will never even be heard and the charges will be dropped for some bogus reason or another.
Judge: ok let me get this straight I have a docket filled with thieves, murderers, drug dealers, and a guy that pinched a girls a$$.
Oh and job applications only require you to admit to felonies you were convicted of nothing more; do you really think he would get a felony assault verdict for this?
Beat down 100% effective.

Good to see more cave-men in this world.
A good beat-down could do wonders for my stress level too.
Stop thinking about yourselves and let us get some stress out....LOL

See MrPat another shining example of a win win. Stress is a killer in todays world and we must actively seek out new methodes of releasing it even when the new way is really the old way.
Please ladies do not confuse my remarks as someone that goes looking for fights. I will always try the civilized approach first. After all I'm not a really big guy and I don't really like confrontations but I can and will if it comes to that.

I took it as trying to interject a little levity to the thread and not as a serious response. Sarcasm is hard to interpret on the forums sometimes and maybe I was wrong but if I am wrong it seems out of character for the poster.
