Well some people use that logic to justify killing cartoonists who depict Mohammed.

You can use modus ponens to justify all kinds of weird shit. What's your point?
My point is that being offended isn't a valid reason to use violence against someone. If a stranger says something non-threatening and you react by hitting him, you're a danger to the public and should possibly be arrested.
"How much for the girl" is predatory behavior and a threat, actually, and anyway I don't agree with your premise.
