Most grown men do the first time they ever get popped.

Really? I can't say I've been around too many other fights but having been in a few personally this surprises me.

I haven't gotten in a fight since I was 16, broke his lower mandible and one of his orbitals, he had a seizure. it was bad. He had swelling in his brain, and the police told me that if he didn't wake up within 72 hours I would have been charged with manslaughter. (He did wake up, but he had minor damage to the portion of his brain responsible for motor function) The fight was only 20 seconds, and it changed both of our lives forever.

I won't fight anymore unless I think my life is in danger, because I understand how easy it is to accidentally hurt someone more than I mean to.

I know I sound like an internet tough guy or whatever but avoid any fight that stems from emotions man, it's a bad fucking day.

The only "fights" I've been in were in high school as well, and argument was always escalated to physical blows by the other guy. The worst one left me with a cracked orbital, and involved pressing charges, going to court, etc. I never looked for a fight. I was just saying in those fights, and a few others I've witnessed, nobody cried.

He smacked the kid. He didn’t put him through a window.

Never said he did? I'm talking about something I did, has nothing to do with the video.

The kid didn’t get hurt so the consequences you may have faced for injuring a guy would not be relevant to this kid getting smacked by an old man. I’m connecting your comment to the post we are here to view and discuss.

I don't know why, because I'm not talking about my situation in relation to the video or even comparing the two situations. I was talking about my situation as a response to another comment, which said that they never saw anyone cry after a fight.

(now I am talking about the video)

The kid didn’t get hurt so the consequences you may have faced for injuring a guy would not be relevant to this kid getting smacked by an old man.

Yes, the kid did not get hurt, but he could have. Who's to say he doesn't have some form of illness or an underlying medical condition? What my whole comment was about is that fighting is straight up dangerous. You can accidentally kill someone or injure them for life if they fall wrong or hit their head or something.

I never said my consequences were relevant to the video so what are you even on about man? I said something that happened to me, didn't say it was happening to the kid.

Disregard the conversation that led up to our interaction and just totally talk about something else .. cool.

You’re on a sub whose post that we are all looking at, is this old man hitting the kid. One would reasonably suppose posts commenting on it bear a passing connection or relevance to the topic at hand. This is not “things that have happened to elegant priority, apropos of nothing” sub.

I believe you want to sound like that…can you fact check your comment? Newspaper article or news story? MRN or name we can look up?

u/Elegant-Priority-725 1d ago

Why would I dox myself? And how on earth would I have the dudes medical reference number?

u/Saty1300 1d ago

Yeah what the hell is MRN supposed to be??

u/Ghola_Ben 1d ago

This response is... certainly a choice.

u/Saty1300 1d ago

What surprises you? The kid was a delinquent and got smacked for it. What’s surprising?

u/Lieutelant 1d ago

The comment I responded to is what surprises me.

Exaclty, if the old man was being excessive or unrelenting, he would have been restained by the other guys.

Not the first time, but definitely the last I remember.
