Oh no of course not. There's no excuse for getting physically violent against someone, whoever they are and whatever they've done.
Even though he has been sacked, he has got away with it in a way. I bet the BBC are letting him go with some lump of money. If this happened to any old person they would be suspended, go through months of investigation, and before all that probably be arrested and have a criminal record stamped against their name, being left jobless, their future unknown and their job prospects very thin.
Despite this incident other channels and platforms aren't going to ignore the potential gain from taking Clarkson on (financially speaking), so I can easily see another channel or online platform taking the risk and perhaps ensuring Clarkson is controlled and not let loose for something like this to happen again.
I'm kinda neutral over the whole thing. I think he should have been sacked, but personally I liked him as a presenter of Top Gear, so I will miss that.
