Tell me who's in the wrong and who is right, mom got bumped and some lady got mad but she actually bumped her?

Question

So i was in frisco today

and my mom got bumped by some african american lady

and then the lady got all pisssed off and threatened to hurt my mom

wtf? how could she get all mad from a bump...

so if she did hurt my mom and i punched the lady, would i be at fault at all for defending my mother?

Answer 1

What is the significance of African-American?  Would it be different if she was of Italian, German, Chinese, or Lithuanian extraction?

You could defend your mother from a physical attack.  If you had entered into the verbal argument prior that, there is a possibility that you could be determined to have escalated the situation, and be charged with assault and battery.

Answer 2

racist!!

Answer 3

That would be up to the jury

I say ignore it, there always people like that.  

Answer 4

i am not really sure

but that is better stupid for the lady to punch your mom

Answer 5

If someone attacked your mom, you have the right to defend her.

Beating the tar out of someone is excessive, though - the response has to be in line with the threat.

And I don't see what the woman's skin colour had to do with the question.

Answer 6

yes there whould be because you were deafening some one when it was your mom that got hit also ur racist

Answer 7

no. but you'd probly get shot.

Answer 8

If she didn't hit you then yes... Cops don't understand defending someone else.
