Is this Just Self-Defence?

Video/Article

If you found the video confusing or just didn't watch it, a man working at McDonalds was slapped by two female patrons who then jumped the counter and started walking towards him behind it after he ran off to the other side. The man grabbed a metal object as they approached and beat them to the ground rather violently. They tried to get back up several times so he beat them as the tried. The man is in jail on $40'000 bail and has a court date for Oct. 11th. The whole thing started after the man questioned the validity of a $50 they handed him to purchase their meal.

Question is does this man deserve to go to prison and have his job stripped from him? Personally I think he went to far but you can't expect people in a situation when they're being attacked by two people to act all that well since they're probably scared as hell. I also think if two men came at a man in this kind of situation and the women ended up beating them down she wouldn't even have been in police custody for a second. Anybody else believe this incredibly gender double standard exists in our justice systems?
