    In Hollywood, men walk away from a single punch; in real life many die. One Punch Homicide: an important documentary http://goo.gl/qRYvSk

        @sapinker "One Punch Homicide" sounds like an awesome name for a punk band.

        @piggyfeather @sapinker You're missing the point. Make people realize that one punch can kill & you help reduce ALL violence.

        @sisboombahbah @sapinker did not miss the point. I know women are capable of violence too. Keep your hands to yourself. #ahimsa

        @piggyfeather @sapinker Who said they didn't? This isn't about gender. It's about violence.

        @sapinker @JasonSilva Mum worked in a Young Offenders (jail for <18s), reckoned that was a very, very common reason for conviction.

        @sapinker at what point is it just survival of the fittest? I mean if you can't take one punch...

        @sapinker What a great concept. The filmmaking needs help. I'd like to contribute. Is there someone to contact?

        @sapinker Hollywood teaches a lot of things. Car doors stop bullets from automatic weapons, violence is clean and without consequence...

        Both outcomes are realistic — "Hey, that hurt!" or death. The same is true of gunshot wounds. http://www.isegoria.net/2014/06/one-bullet-can-kill-but-sometimes-20-dont/ … @sapinker @razibkhan

        @sapinker Also in Hollywood people get up and rub their head after being knocked out or pistol whipped. Not in real life.
