You don't hit or kick people who are down. That's like the first rule of fighting.
That elevates the crime to attempted manslaughter real fast.
Whoever told you that there were rules for fighting lied to you and put you in danger by giving you false expectations.
There is very little danger in a person lying on the ground barely moving at all. Be prepared to strike if they get back up.
Every kick to an asshole that's down is a warning for the future. It says "I won this one and I'll win the next one and the one after that."
Look the racist guy got what he deserved, but "kicking them while they're down" is so commonly understood to be taking it too far that it's an idiom.
If you allow your enemy the opportunity to counter attack then they will, every time, if you expect them to do otherwise then you’re a fucking idiot. Take away their power to hurt and surprisingly they can’t hurt people anymore. Make nazis scared again.
This isn’t a fucking boxing match.
That wasn't "fighting".
That was retribution.
Not sure you can attempt manslaughter...
