In the case of male versus female violence, the idea of the male retaliating is always so hotly debated. I can see both sides of it; "never hit a woman" and "a woman is a person who just hit you, you can hit that person back". I think, as with many things, the right thing to do lies in the middle.
My thought is that if a person hits you, you have to judge the level of threat. If it's a situation where you legitimately need to defend yourself, do it. If it is not truly a threat, as I would judge in this case, then retaliating is out of anger and not self-defense. The point about a racial slur being used would certainly be despicable, but would not justify his actions.
Kudos to @levander for the best point made in this thread. Also agree with @uptowncountry , this comparison is so much worse than Haselwood deserves. Call him a primadonna if you want (though I'll choose to trust @JeffSentell on this one), but equating his character with Jarboe's is just wrong.
