40. I don't care if it is a male hitting a female OR a female hitting a male OR male against male, female against female. There is absolutely NO excuse for ANYONE to be hitting on someone unless it is in a rink boxing.
I am glad he is in Jail and will be there overnight. There are other ways to vent your anger than to hit someone. Go take a walk until you "cool off", go to a friends or relatives house for the night or lock yourself in another room until you can sit down and be civil to each other and talk things out.
I believe it takes two to tango, so I am NOT just bashing Robert VanWinkle. From my experience as a Nurse, usually the other party is running their mouth or screaming and yelling and I think the Judicial System should start making BOTH PARTIES go to ANGER MANAGEMENT and COUNSELING to learn the proper way to handle a disagreement before it escalates to physical abuse.

41. Don't know all the facts here, but She may have started it and perhaps hit/pushed him first..... As a woman,
I feel like if you put yourself in a mans shoes and start hitting, pushing, etc a man, you deserve a mans beating.
However, if she didnt hit him and he shoved her, then yes he should get everything he deserves.
Sidenote : I went to Highschool with him ( Robert VanWinkle ) at R.L. Turner High in Carrollton Texas.... in fact he still lives here in Texas.

44. NO WOMEM EVER HAS IT COMING, ITS JUST THE MALE FEELS LIKE HE HAS TO BRING OUT THE MACHO IN HIM, SO MAYBE HE FEELS LIKE HES 6'11 INSTEAD OF HI REAL HEIGHT5'5 . THE NEXT TIME A MALE SCREWS UP HE SHOULD BE PULLED BY HIS PRIVITES ALL THE WAY TO THE POLICE STATION AND MAKE HIM PLEAD WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A GOOD GRIPE.
