So I was just involved in a fist fightFollow

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not the fighter type at all. I'm quite the tolerant person, but there is something about a man beating on a woman that boils me to no end.

Paralysis was a little exagerated, but I would wanna hurt him badly.

I would've run away like a coward.

It sucks that you got in a fight and it does sound like the guy is crazy and/or on drugs but...



Your duty here is to report this man to the police immediately, not to keep his girlfriend happy.



This is probably not the best idea. You have already demonstrated that you and 3 other guys are not able to restrain this man. If had had wanted, there is a good chance this weapon would have been his. He is the crazed attacker here and you don't know what all he is capable of doing. If you are going to pull a knife, you need to be trained and prepared to use it to kill or severely disable him if he decides to proceed with his attack. I doubt this is what you intended. It sounds like you were just trying to scare him away and you got lucky and it worked. The smarter thing to do would have been to lock yourself inside and call the police.

I understand that he had done some extremely violent things to you guys, but there was a point where what he had done was over, everyone was ok, and he had left. This would have been a perfect time to go inside, lock the doors, call the police.

I'm not trying to pick on you because you were definitely in a bad situation and it is hard to know how you will react when put in that scenario. But, I do think you could have made much better decisions here.

Yeah, havent you ever heard of pulling a gun on a tresspasser who is threatening your life? Bringing a knife to a gunfight. Nub.

Ben Johnson on Steroids = Gold Medal

Ben Johnson without = Bronze.


Just clarfying to help illustrate a point.

I'm with you now!

The girl needs to get to a doctor. Having your head slammed into a brick wall can do some serious subcranial damage. The force of the brain slamming around the inside of the skull can cause blood vessels to break. She could seem fine for days but slowly have pressure building inside the skull.




You got lucky that he walked away. The fact that you armed yourself AFTER a prior confrontation could have serious legal ramifications should you have stabbed him, or worse killed him.

A fist fight is one thing and unless you have a history, officers/the courts may dismiss it as “mutual combat.” Once you start using knives, bats, or other weapons you will likely be spending some time in jail.

Probably, but it might also be a good idea to question Red's innocence in this whole thing too. He could have been provoking the guy earlier. Not that it would justify what the guy did or anything, but something to consider. We don't really know what Red was doing before this all got started.

Ya it's never a good idea to be nailing your roid-rager neighbor's girlfriend.

Red's dead baby. Red's dead.

my 3 brothers and i were the few white people who grew up in a predominatly black neibhor hood.

fist fights? oh, about 3 or 4 a month. couldnt walk down the steet alone and not get punched. had to walk to the bathroom in school with a teacher or in twos or threes.

hell, one of my friends in fourth grade, a Black kid named tom, just jumped up in the middle of class and started pounding on me. he was old enough to start learning about racizm, and his bigger brother was making sure he learned with a vengence.

something i learned. call the police every time. also, when you get confronted, and you know your going to have your **** handed to you, MAKE SURE you cause him some real pain. make sure he understands thumping his chest has a price. the throat the groin. kidneys. eyes. and keep after them. make sure he understands you WILL kill him if you can.

they tend to leave you alone after the first one you blind or send to a hospitol with a collapsed throat.

Sounds liks roids to me.
