I don't think anyone has said he was justified, but this guy went way over the line punching her.
If someone, especially a girl, is yelling at you, there is an option NOT to escalate the situation.
It may be hard to imagine, but even if she is hitting you, you still have the option of walking away.
This guy is a loser, drunk, or not. It doesn't matter if the girl was drunk, or if she is also a loser, or if she was hitting him, you don't hit a girl, period.
He could have walked away, or held her back, or yelled to the crowd for help.
Instead, he punches her in the head...really!?
He wasn't fearing for his life, he had plenty of options, but he chose punching her in the head.
Looks liken this jerk has some anger management issues...
