And if they keep coming, hit them until they stop moving.
It was his job, where was he supposed to walk to? 
I gotta say, after looking at the vids, it seems the employee was in the right.
The girls went after him. The guy hits them a few times and you see them fall, but one of them tries to get up. She should have stayed down. Can probably assume the other one was trying to get up too, though the camera doesn’t really capture that.
And it wasn’t some thick metal pipe. It was a bent piece of metal, thinner than a tire iron. It made a slapping noise as it hit, so it probably wasn’t a pounding so much as a slapping feel.
Unfortunately the camera doesn’t capture the last few hits as it pans left, but by this time I’m more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt
When you are in the heat of some sort of violent conflict, random pasersby shouting means: “Hey, I’m an interfering asshole, and I just want to run my mouth…and will probably interfere to your disadvantage.” Random passersby were just what the customers who attacked him were. (I know, I know…in *this *context.)
Ask me how I know.

If you have one of those fancy “terminator” eyes with the computer display installed you can do it. And I think this guy had one. The problem for these idiots was that the first option on the display was “fuck the bitches up”.
I agree. My father was a bartender and by law was prohibited from coming out from behind the bar to engage someone physically, regardless of provocation. But let them make any move to come behind the bar and they were fair game. He had the right to protect himself and his till, pretty much whatever it took. These two posers needed a beat down to discourage them from trying that shit again.
Out of curiosity, would all the people on the tough-guy “those bitches deserved what they got” side still feel that way if the victim had died, rather than having a piddly little skull fracture?
His skull got fractured?
Er, ‘ask me how I know’ is not a meme. It’s a sentence whose meaning is obvious.
Welcome to Gaudere’s Law, btw.
The rest of your post makes no sense at all. What are you actually trying to say?
It’s reasonable to assume that the fracture skull must have occurred after the women were on the ground, since neither of them was hit on the head while they were standing.
Yes. 
He was calm enough to asses the situation and determine they were no threat, yes… and then he decided to hit them anyway.
I have been attacked a few times in my life and I didn’t find it hard to rein in my anger. The enormous feeling of control over my body was actually quite enjoyable.
Astro hasn’t ‘won the thread’ because nobody was suggesting that the staffmember precisely moderate his behaviour. Hitting them? Reasonable. They hit him first and came behind the counter. Whacking them repeatedly when they were on the floor? In what insano world does it require ‘precise moderation’ to not do that?
Yes, you might turn your back and your opponent will get up and/or stab or shoot you.
Hee!!
Kinda like the Darwin award nominees. They didn’t DESERVE it, but it was certainly a possible foreseable consequence (and in this case from malicious, criminal, socially unacceptable, we think we can get away with it because we is women bullshit behavior). Too bad so sad.
I do feel sorry for the poor damn guy.
Why would the man in this case turn his back? He could just stand over them and wait till the police arrive, surely? He could have ended up with commendation instead of a conviction.
OK, so, the opinion of some people in this thread is that killing someone is a reasonable response to any situation where you feel even the slightest bit threatened by their behavior. Got it.
And remember that as you go about in your daily life possibly being tempted to be jerk or get into somebody elses business. The life you save may be your own.
In the sense that “even the slightest bit” is standing in for “strikes you”, and by “killing someone” you mean “retreating from an assailant who trespasses to pursue you, at which point you don’t kill them.”
Regardless of the age, size, gender or physical condition of the person presenting that “threat”.
Stop using “retreating from…” in such a disingenuous manner. He was not “retreating” in any sense of that word. He was going to the back of the kitchen to retrieve his bashing stick.
You’re assuming he would’ve used the stick if she hadn’t come over the counter? Interesting.
And thats why you don’t chase somebody. Another check on the bitches wuz stupid column.
