floor does nothing about guy slapping another player @ HP last night?

[benneh]

before anyone gets antsy, it was "only" a slap on the hand, not face, but it was a very hard swing which could have very easily lead to a fist fight.

seat 3 is a guy in his late 30s to early 40s playing pretty donkishly, seat 4 is drunk and in his mid 20s, very obnoxious and playing even more so.

hand comes up and there's about 100 on the flop, and seat 3 leads out for 75 on it with 4 to act behind him. drunky thinks for a minute and asks how much 3 has behind him (its about 300 on top of the raise and seat 3 has drunky covered.) seat 3 doesnt answer and drunky sticks his stack of 100 over the hands of 3 and into his stack to measure up against his. seat 3 yells and tells the dealer to run the game, floor comes over, yelling back and forth for a while, floorman tells everyone to calm down.

drunky apologizes and insists he only wants a count, and asks the floor, dealer, or seat 3 to do it. no one complies, and after a few more minutes, seat 3 lifts up his hands from hsi stack and tells drunky to count it.

drunky reaches over and touches the stack, and seat 3 immediately slaps drunky on the hand very violently.

more bitching and whining, security now comes over, drunky eventually folds and there is a lot of [censored] talking still going on. after about 10 more minutes seat 8 finallys asks drunky to switch with him, but that doesnt alleviate the problem as drunky is now just calling seat 3 a [censored], fat boy, etc.

table eventually breaks and i get put on a table with drunky, and the floor asks him to leave after about 5 minutes at the table. drunky starts playing the race card cause he is white and the dealer, floorman, security and seat 3 were black. blah blah blah.

sorry for the long winded story. can floor really do this? seat 3 got no punishment at all but left a few hands after the altercation on his own. was drunky really so far out of hand the 2nd time that getting slapped is really warranted without any punishment for seat 3?
