Real life fighting you thread

[Trim]

I think my last fight might've been against MIR when he physically stopped me from something.

[ednksu]

yeah 

[ednksu]

If college counts, then yes.  It was a really bad idea and I got in a lot of trouble afterward.  A friend and I got into it with some guys walking home from the bars.  I knocked one of them out.  Not with a punch, I threw him into a van and he hit his head on the bumper.  He was snoring immediately.  The fight ended then.  Everyone was pretty freaked out on account of how unnatural it sounded.  Went back to our dorm and cops were there because some kid was passed out drunk in the middle of the hallway.  The cops stopped us on our way to our room.  One of the cops said as I walked by "Why don't you tell me about that guy you just knocked out?"  I was really drunk and couldn't figure out how the eff he knew that so soon or that we were involved.  In hindsight, I had on a white baseball cap and an orange polo.  I was pretty muscle-bound at the time.  My friend was wearing a maroon shirt and he is black and had cornrow braids at the time.  The two of us together was a pretty easy apb descripto.  Anyway, I got arrested and they charged me with felony aggravated battery.  I had to do two weeks in county jail and 300 public service hours and two years of probation to get it dropped down to a misdemeanor conviction.  I also had to pay several thousand dollars to the other guy's insurance because he had to get a CAT scan or MRI or something plus stitches and of course the ambulance ride.  County jail was a very interesting experience (many stories and really not bad at all except for the food), but the whole situation took almost a year to resolve and it was very stressful with the felony hanging over my head.  I would have gladly let them talk all sorts of crap on me and just walked away had I known what I was in store for.  Being a badass is for dunces.

Important story, bread.

I would not risk my health, financial, or legal status to prove some point to a stranger talking crap.

I would fight lots of people if getting arrested wasn't going to happen. I think people on the internet and irl act out of pocket because there isn't a real credible threat to get beaten up. I have a real issue with people who act like assholes and I feel like its really easy for people to treat others like crap, wouldn't be the case if you were afraid of swallowing your teeth.

I very nearly got into a fight in OKC with some gE elites. These dudes were absolutely looking for trouble and we would have worn them out, but these are the dudes who start fights and then call the cops after they get their asees kicked. I don't need an arrest record.

How much more of a thin skinned neanderthal could you be?  You're basically stating than anyone that is an bad person towards you is in store for an ass kicking (or your 'attempt' at one).  There is no respect or honor in fighting over words or inconsequential actions.  Grow up.

Hey fuckwit, here's a tip. When you read a post try to actually read it and not scan it and then reply with whatever preconceived notion you had in your head. I'm really confused as to how you assessed that I'd fight anyone who was an bad person to me. How in the hell did you miss me saying in the very post you quoted that I didn't fight these guys who were assholes to me and my friends? Not only did I not fight them but I physically stopped a punch that would have put one of those shitheads to sleep. I posted another non-fighting story in this thread where a guy ashed his cigarette head but I didn't fight him.

Don't paraphrase if you have reading and comprehension problems, buddy. My point is that people would be less inclined to be assholes to others if there were a credible threat of retaliation. This really isn't a controversial issue unless you are one of those people who think it is cool to say and do foul crap to people and don't expect retribution.

You have terrible rage issues which need to be addressed.  This isn't first time you've had people notice how unbalanced you are.  We need not go do our past too much, but trying to find out where someone sits so you can fight them in the Bram is terrible and I'm not the only one on here you have threatened with physical violence.  You are the bad person you claim to hate in your stories.  Congrats, you've earned a great rep of going from ad hominem attacks to threats of violence because of your excessively short fuse.  At least I've gone on record about admitting my mistakes about my comments, where as you try and duck responsibility for being out of control with your emotions.

It's absolutely stupid to get into a fight for any reason. I know of two brothers-in-law who were out drinking together and got into shoving match in the parking lot. One shove, one guy falls down, hits his head on the pavement, brain swells, and he's dead less than a week later.

I mean this could have easily happened to our friend Mr. Bread in his situation or any other knucklehead getting in a fight. so eff the thought of jail, you might kill someone because you think they're acting too tough or something. Or you might get knocked down and die. So, don't fight, MiR. for any reason ever, it's never worth it.

I really don't consider brothers-in-law getting into a drunken shoving match to be fighting. If I were to get into a legitimate fight I wouldn't give two shits about the well-being of the person I'm fighting. If I fight someone I'm doing so with the understanding that one of us is going to get hurt. The real deterrent from fighting for me is fear of arrest. I'm not afraid of jail, but an arrest, even without jail would be life-changing for me. I would absolutely lose my job and would be chased out of my profession. Unemployment, divorce, and homelessness stops me from acting on primal urges. If I knew I could fight someone without risk of being arrested I'd do it. I like fighting, I like my comfy life more.

I mean people in non-legitimate fights can die so even you could die in a fight. And that isn't a deterrent at all? I won't even get into your apathy about possibly taking the life of someone else. Sheesh.

Why do ppl like fighting?  Competition?  Adrenaline rush?  Maintaining an underlying understanding by those around that you may one day involve them in a fight?  Honest question.

but what if someone he didn't know called im a pu$$y

[kostakio]

If you like fighting take up MMA or something like that.  Anyone that likes to street fight is either just a stupid kid who doesn't know any better yet or an idiot.   

[ben ji]

Fun fact!

Deep down inside ben ji is a total softie.  I played sports in HS/lifted TONS of weights and  would tell myself that if I got big enough no one would want to fight me.

IT WORKED (but also because i'm a total softie and don't enjoy fighting)

One of my buddies had the same outlook.  Then he realized that assholes like to find the biggest [redacted] in the bar and start instigate things for no reason.

The biggest thing that pissed me off about Manhattan, was all the army rats that wanted to pick fights in aggieville. Since it's not Veterans day, I can say this now. I use to call mom and dad up to tell them how awful they were in aggieville and dad would sternly respond: "Don't you talk that way about our men in uniform!"

One night after I got off work at Tubby's a "Riley rat" who was a frequent customer at tubbys was passed out in front of Tubby's. We knew the guy and he always nice to us so I gave him a ride back to the base while he slept in my car.

I'm with ya WS08. All the riley rats can get mumped. Thank goodness they generally don't venture to the far end of Moro where the classier establishments are, Johnny Kaws can keep them.

That was nice of you, ben Ji.

1. Have you gotten into a fist fight as an adult? A couple of (drunken) times my freshman year of college with this douche who basically moved into our dorm room without asking and kept messing with my stuff. Nobody ever really landed a punch. Got into it with another roommate who threw my mattress out in the hall
2. When was the last fight you saw in person? Not really an MiR-approved fight, but people watching on 6th Street about a year ago. East 6th can get kinda screwy after the bars close. A girl and a guy were getting into it, the girl took the guy's keys and threw them as far into the crowd as she could, and he shoved her to the ground
3. Do you say terrible things to other people and don't expect any possible physical retribution? Not really. I'm generally pretty good at defusing situations so it usually never gets to the point where I'm angry enough to really insult someone.
4. If someone kicked your ass one-on-one would you call the cops on them? Only if I got blindsided without any explanation.
5. Would you fight someone simply because of what they said about you or a loved one on the internet? If so has his ever happened on goEMAW.com? Pffffffft.

I eff people up every weekend.

As a general rule... Those who are prone to physical violence are incredibly insecure, uneducated, or ignorant.  Often a combination of all 3.. Oh... also crazy.

^^^^This guy literally just tried to fight me in the office 30 minutes ago.

['taterblast]

1. Have you gotten into a fist fight as an adult? Nope.
2. When was the last fight you saw in person?  Honestly can't remember exactly. The only one that comes to mind is in Morgantown last year some WVU fans went at it (documented in Morgantown Road Trip thread). There has to be one since then but if so it was so inconsequential that i don't remember it.
3. Do you say terrible things to other people and don't expect any possible physical retribution? Nope.
4. If someone kicked your ass one-on-one would you call the cops on them? One-on-One? Probably not.
5. Would you fight someone simply because of what they said about you or a loved one on the internet? If so has his ever happened on goEMAW.com? Nope.

I have friends that would occasionally get in fights in high school/college but I was never involved. It just hasn't been a big part of the culture I've grown up in and now live in. It's always on my mind as a possibility though. For example, when I go out I never wear sandals basically just in case there's a physical altercation.

I'm a big guy and fairly strong so I'm confident I'd be okay in any fight. But, I'm a friendly drunk. Being drunk only makes me more social/friendly rather than have the urge to confront people. Even when I'm shitfaced.

In fact, and this is kind of weird, twice in college I was punched (wrong place wrong time, I didn't bring it on myself), and rather than fight back like you would think the natural instinct would be, I laughed and said "What the hell are you doing?"

[The1BigWillie]

I was just testing Ben Ji. 

 

[michigancat]

Fun fact!

Deep down inside ben ji is a total softie.  I played sports in HS/lifted TONS of weights and  would tell myself that if I got big enough no one would want to fight me.

IT WORKED (but also because i'm a total softie and don't enjoy fighting)

Based on my lone real life interaction with ben ji I would have a hard time believing this.

Other thoughts:

I don't think I've ever seen a fight in Aggieville. Maybe it's gotten worse or maybe I only went places where it was pretty laid back.

And if I somehow got my "ass kicked" in a one on one fight, I would definitely call the cops for insurance/suing purposes as Saul suggested.

[XocolateThundarr]

I eff people up every weekend. 

Troof...thug life.

[XocolateThundarr]

I don't like to fight.  I don't say things on the internet that I wouldn't say to people face to face.  eff with me all you want...I don't care.  Threaten my wife, kids, family and crap will get real.

Yeah, people that threaten my wife and kid really make me mad.  Like hey that's my wife and kid man.  Happens too often in today's day and age.  Smack me with a white glove if you want or spit on my shoe, but leave my wife and kid out of it.  What are we, wild animals or barbarians or something?  Because that's who does that.

You're a rough ridin' moron.  Here's your paraphrase fuckwit, "I would fight lots of people if getting arrested wasn't going to happen."  My sincere apologies for not dropping the writing down to your insecure 3rd grade dumbass level, buddy.  I was commenting on your state of mind that "oh I would fight anybody that gave me the stink eye if it wasn't for the cops!"

What a rough ridin' loser.  What adult has used the phrase "beaten up" since high school?
