If some asshole does that in a bar, they get the cops called on them.

You clearly haven’t been to the bars I’ve been to.

If someone pulled that stunt in one of those bars, they’d find themselves on the floor searching for their front teeth among the sawdust. And by that time, the bouncers would show up, the slapper would get ejected and banned, and if the police were called at all, nobody would press charges and no witnesses would admit to having seen anything.

A society that would press criminal charges for a soft-boy assault like that would be even more hellish than the one we have to live in.
