... where police were called and charges filed. (On Twitter.) I don’t recall what the charges were, but they were serious.

It was a form of community self-defense after an assault (the spitting).

If it were me, I would have stomped on his head for good measure. Being arrested for assault would have been an honor.

I shared this with a few friends and relatives and then mused about my choice of people. Not a collection I'd ever sent something to before. And then I got it. They're all football fans.

A fighting move. If his hand was cupped a little bit creating an air pocket, or a bit more on target, the Spitter would have a blown eardrum!

For spitting in these times deserves to get your block knocked off. I am surprised he didn't get knocked out because that was one hellova punch.

Edit: Not a punch but a slap, he might be dead if that man had used a fist instead of a slap.

Some styles call a very similar, if not identical, technique a knife hand, but it seemed to be delivered awfully high on the head.

If one had not heard this, it might surprise someone to know that the so-called "karate chop" or "judo chop" to the side of the neck is not just an old TV or movie staple. It's actually a thing, and can knock you cold if delivered properly, and not that much force is needed.

...getting hit with a blow one never saw coming has a more profound effect on the nervous system.
A totally unanticipated shock to the CNS can shut it down for a quarter second. That's long enough to send one to the floor.
That guy definitely did not see that slap coming.
And, he had that slap coming.

Not only for saving people from potential infection, but for saving the store a lot of money.

Last week a store had to throw out $35k of perfectly good food because some stupid asshole went around spitting on things.
