Was I in the Right here????

The question I ask everyone is if someone knocks over your wife or girlfriend is that where you draw the line and retailiate?

Apparently, the proper response is to say "Sorry we got in your way guys" and run away...

You were right. You can never be in the wrong when protecting the woman you love.

I just want to echo the thoughts that you never know who you are messing with these days. That's the scary part. One of those guys could have had a weapon and things could have gotten out of control really quick.

I'm pretty sure that even the people who are saying Quake was justified in his response realize that you should always consider that. But I still find it hard to believe that a grown man can just turn the other cheek and walk away when his wife/girlfriend is physically assaulted.

I won't speak to what you should have done, as that must be tempered with good judgement, and not getting your ass capped, by some wannebe, wiseguy or worse. Your bro' was just worried bout you....nice to see.
Those............cretons deserved to have their asses tossed around the parking lot for a while!
Felt GOOD, didn't it?????

No big deal - can't blame you at all for what you did. Given that the guy grabbed your girl and she fell, you can definitely argue self defense.

At least where I live, you'd be guilty of Simple Assault at the very worst. Depending on the officer you might walk away with nothing, a misdemeanor citation, or at the very worst spend a couple hours in jail. If you've got a clean record you'd probably get probation, stay clean and the whole thing disappears.

Honestly, simple assault is not a real big deal as far as charges go. Especially if you have a clean record. Sounds to me like your bro is a little worked up over nothing.
