He did strike her, his part of the abuse is unquestionable, but since her antagonizing him isn't being brought into the equation, that's where it becomes biased.

Throwing objects at somebody, and hitting them with an object is violence. What we have here is reciprocal violence where she initiated it
-
That doesn't mean his actions were proportionate, but the perception of proportionality is what the bias will influence the most.

She did more than throw stuff, she knowingly antagonized him multiple times, and did so during a time where she had an audience. Which indicates a toxic home life. However, the system isn't setup to deal with that behavior. The law only punishes actual crimes....
-
and since he actually struck her, he's the one getting in trouble. Is it fair? No, she obviously had a part to play in it, but as we've noted, the system isn't fair.

Tbh idk, but I do think she could get charged for aggressive and violent actions. Typically violence is about a show of force or intimidation by using force. It probably varies a lot by state
-
Well, as Bill Burr noted, even hockey has a two minute penalty for instigating. Although, I think the people involved are Brits, so they're subject to UK law.
