Most abusers where abused themselves, it means we can understand it. Doesnt make abuse alright or excusable, or unpunishable.
What if the attacked dude has family? What if the attacker is narcissistic asshole who learned to prey on empathic humans his whole life until that faithful cross to the chin?
What if violent people know how soft and nice most people are and it fills their bellies with malevolent joy every day they take advantage of someone?
We can understand a lot without excusing it. Your child goes thru pure ego phase, it doesnt mean you will allow your kid to treat your wife, their mother as trash or you for that matter.
Simple organisms learn in simple ways. Violence is a simple way of communication. If you dont speak the language, you cant get your point across, to someone who only speaks violence.
