What are your true thoughts re this violent incident?

It's not bloody rocket science OP. Violence is wrong, end of.

Let me guess.. because a woman has physically hurt a man, you are surprised at the number of 'well he had it coming' reactions, because you've not yet realised that our society is permissive of female violence against men.

You sound strangely ok with that though?

If he died as a result of her throwing something at him, would you be ok with that too?

My view is that people need to learn to control their impulses. They need to be taught from early childhood and from the first sign of violence. Because any time you get physical in anger you risk someone getting badly hurt. Doesn't matter what a person had done to you, unless its self defence, you should always keep your hands (and objects) to yourself.

@ARichtGoodDram yes if he hasn't been violent previously then yes...

Flame away

Rubbish

Man or woman with shit aim anyway, could cause an awful lot of permanent damage.

What on earth is wrong with the violent abuse apologists on this thread?

It's sickening.

And if your daughter cheated and her partner threw something would you be equally ok with it?

Totally wrong and if excuses are being made then those making them are wrong too.

We all know violence is wrong but until you're in that situation (I don't know about this particular case), then it's hard to judge. When my husband of a 26 year long "happy marriage" said he'd been seeing someone else for a year, I threw my tea cup at him. We had never had a volatile relationship but it was a sudden knee jerk reaction to one of the most profound shocks of my life.

JFC, neither is acceptable. Violence is violence.

This is not an OK way to think, because then it's excusing men for doing the same thing to women. Anyone could say they were "hurt" and use it as an excuse. It's not.

Il probably get flamed for saying this but if my son cheated on his long term partner I would fully expect her to throw something at him.

Well exactly. He patted a dancer’s bum but it turned out that through beer goggles she looked just like his fiancé.

And the outcome depends on whether the victim supports police action/investigation

My true thoughts are that she acted out of emotion, we've all done things we regret when hurt or angry. I wouldn't judge her for it. Not many will actually admit to thinking that. I threw a hairbrush at my ex once in an argument. It bounced off his head. I wouldn't consider myself a perpetrator of domestic violence.

@Puffinfoot ... don't be ridiculous... violence is violence irrespective of the sex or gender...

There is no good reason for one person to harm or put someone in fear of harm full stop.

So by your theory an 18 year old female can attack an elderly man.. and he should just man up?

Like fuck is it different.

Photo frame - thrown at person.

Person - split lip.

Stop trying to minimise violence by those who cannot control their anger.

Genitals make no difference in this story.

A man throwing the same item at or near someone- always worse than a woman doing it because of his greater strength and the damage he can do.

They need to split. She needs to look into help for her anger. Throwing something at someone is never ever acceptable. He's disgusting for cheating. But it didn't warrant being assaulted.

You're making stuff up now though. Unless OP wants to come along and enlighten us, this a case of a woman being violent. It happens, and it's equally unacceptable as male violence.

Perhaps the man didn't mean to cheat, he just had bad aim?

To be honest I'm not going to worry about a cheating twat who got a split lip from a picture frame. I'll save my empathy for all the women who take a fuck of alot more than that for merely existing

No it isn't. Violence is violence no matter how you try and paint it. Excusing it the way you are is disgusting.

If she is arrested and interviewed at custody, they would be looking for the mens rea and actus reus

The definition of an assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH): Actus Reus: the defendant must commit an assault or battery which causes the victim to suffer actual bodily harm. Mens Rea: the defendant must intend or be reckless as to the assault or battery.

Something that usually has sharp edges and glass…

She could have blinded him.
