This... :thumbsup

I'm talking about not saying anything in the first place. You never know what kind of asshole you might be dealing with. These are concepts lost on a person with your level of self control.

well after he was granted his tough guy badge he wanted to retell the story here so he could also get his internet tough guy badge

Very glad you came out of it okay....... but in future, don't get involved.

Its not worth even a risk of a negative outcome.

I had people tell me that saw it they thought I had a lot of self control. I only hit him once. I was full in my rights to hospitalize him.

You can either have balls and say something, or be a pussy and let assholes do what they want, you I guess are a pussy!

I will always speak my mind and not bend to the will of those that rely on pussy's that won't stand up against them.

so someone that avoids a physical confrontation is a pussy...

then i am the biggest pussy ever cause even as a bouncer i didn't fight once

on the other hand - how often do you see people with university degrees and well paid jobs doing fist fights?

maybe there is a connection...

I did not read!

He was saying ignore it all together out of fear of confrontation.

As I have stated, I didn't want a fight. I never do. I've bounced, I never got into a fight as one.

Blue one your's?

'Fight' may be stretching it a little. :D

Confrontation? Minor tussle? Yelling match with some pushy-shovey-and-one-hit-wonder?


You're right though, things like this can come up out of literally nothing. Everyone is under the impression they're tough. A lot of people seem to have a higher sense of entitlement these days than ever before.

You had to know your initial comment to the guy wasn't going to sit well with a clownshoe like him, so no one including yourself can be surprised by the guy's reaction. You handled it though, and you're still here. That's something.

I believe people not getting involved is not an option. Fighting is something I'm good at but never want. I would love it if I never got into a fight again. I went 20 years without a fight, then the last couple of years things have changed.

Yeah, thanks. It wasn't really a fight. Only one punch. Hardly a fight, glad that's all that happened and no one got hurt.

Does anyone remember that thread of the guy over in Thailand whom posted here about using a samurai sword to cut the head off his neighbors dog, pig or what ever it was and stuck it on the fence post as a warning of how tuff he was and they shouldn't fuck with him? Someone even made an artist rendering of the scene and posted it..


I'm thinking of that thread now.. I'd really love to see that one but I can't find it on search.. anyone?

wasn't that DWB?

What I am saying is that you are I are about the same age, yet you seem to constantly find yourself getting into fights while I not. If you are forty years old and getting into fist fights, you are doing something wrong with your life. I don't know if it's the area you live in or if you visit biker bars where fist fights are a daily thing, but I haven't seen a fist fight in twenty years or so.

I think so, but I'm not sure. Was funny shit though.

glad no one got hurt, bitches saved the day.

The places I hang out do have something to do with it, while I lived in Norcal for 20 years, never even came close to a fight. You have been out drinking with me in Sac, I was the life of the party at the 7440 club, I'm the guy that got all the girls to trade shirts. I haven't changed. I don't look for it, just don't back down from it.

The guy wasn't honking next to your house, he's in a parking lot... of a bar! Maybe he's got a good reason to honk, maybe he didn't see you were on the phone...

How is yelling at him rather than asking him in a normal way "having balls"?

one hunnerd it was the other guy's faults

I would have asked him politely, but he wouldn't have heard me over the horn, or did that fact escape you?

still lolzing at the gfy trolls that can't even form a coherent train of thought and write it in a post at gfy yet think they have the diplomacy skills to rationally talk a dickhead into stopping blasting his horn.

classic gfy.

He heard you didn't he? Horn couldn't have been that loud....

What is wrong with walking to the car and asking him anyway.... or is shouting crap from a distance the "manly" thing to do?

Couldn't agree more

Yes, he heard me, I have a loud voice. Looking back at the situation, it wouldn't have mattered what I did, he was looking for a fight, I was more than he could handle. He was all in my face when he was taller and in his mind tougher, but when I tagged him, he would get within arms reach. Just a pussy loud mouth asshole that I shut down.

True story...

A guy on my hockey team, The Homegrown Pussycats, was cross checked during a game and when he was getting up asking wtf the cross checking douche bag was already dropping his gloves. My friend is short on stature, only 5'5" tall but he was a Golden Gloves boxer and a SeaBee Gulf War vet. The guy swinging was about 6' to 6'2" but his swing was wide and slow, easy to see coming and plenty of time to set - my buddy Marty got in under the punch and drove an uppercut right up under and blasted his chin and sent the guy down to the ice quick. At that moment the goalie who had about 70lbs of bulk and a few inches of height jumped Marty from behind. They tumbled down but Marty squirreled out and knocked the goalie hard enough that even with the helmet on his bell was ringing like a Catholic church on Sunday. That is when a third player from their squad jumped the wall and skated in to get a piece while the first guy was already looking for more as the refs started pulling the goalie off. Marty knocked the first dude down again just in time to lay out the guy skating in. 1 vs 3. Little guy against three bigger dudes. The refs calmed it all down but Marty became sort of a mini beer league legend as a result.

The moral of the story? Don't fuck with Navy vets that know how to box... the smaller they are the bigger the fight. :winkwink:

Great Story. I've seen a lot of fights and what you learn is most people don't know how. Seems your friend Marty knows how.

bigger guy, always strike first.. to the neck.

Hands up, "im not lookin for trouble." He still gets aggressive, go for the throat HARD. Followup w combos until hes down and you can get away.
Head down, eyes open, stick and move.

If people are around, say "im defending myself, call 911". Cover your ass.

Get a heavy bag and practice this.

Lighten up, Francis
 

If you come across someone that has their chin down, they are ready for that.

This guy was running up on me bumping into me, so upper cut got his attention
