I wasn't strictly proscribing reaction. But why jump immediately to fists or (as the poster below me says: knocked the fuk out). Why can't the first reaction be to demand verbally that he puts her down, and the second reaction be to drag him off her?
You imply that the reaction is spontaneous and in no way considered. I don't believe that. If it was true, the reaction would as likely be murderous (a knife in a throat, say). But people have enough self-control not to do that, so why not enough not to immediately for physical violence?
You obviously don't have a younger sister then, and if you do, I feel sorry for her. I'm a girl and if a grown man groped her (15 years old), I'd lose my shit and see red. Maybe its different because I raised her so then is a little maternal inscint mixed in, but never the less. If it was your younger sibling, why would you want to let them in harms way any longer then you had to? And even though he did react quickly, his sister is now tramatized, how much worse would that have been if he just stood there trying to negotiate with the guy to let her go?
People seem to be missing my point. Of course I'd try to stop the situation (even by forcefully removing the attacker from my sister). What I don't understand is instantaneous violence. If everybody thought like this, we'd be out committing manslaughter every day. People CAN control themselves and not kill others.
He didn't kill him... He hit him. And sorry, but as a girl, maybe if perverts were punched more often, the world would actually be a little safer. I'm personally sick of men who think its okay to grab strange women and do what they want with them.
Must have missed the part where the OP wrote "So I murdered the guy instantaneously on the spot"
My bad. I was under the mistaken impression the person sexually assaulting his sister got punched, a relatively non-lethal method with plenty of stopping power that's a normal reaction.
Is it normal that I punched a mentally disabled person in the face?

I guess murder was a bit extreme... ~sarcasm~
