So, some weeks ago a guy from Dominican Republic punch/ kick to death a Vietnamese boy, later throwing his body at the river, he keep kicking him until he was sure the Vietnam boy was dead.
That happens in the most populate touristic part of Osaka/japan with dozens of people watching and taking videos (I won’t link any video, is brutal and traumatic.. I won’t recommend it)

So, those guys were dancing and drinking together before one decided to kill the other ( all recorded ).

How bad can be a discussion to kill somebody else ? Have you ever as an adult fight someone just for having different opinions?

 

[farmerboy]

No, never fought physically in my adulthood. Learned to avoid fights fairly early on.

Cant believe this happened in Japan.

 

[RJMacready73]

Have had a few scrapes through the years, not one to shy away from someone being a dick but now that I'm older & have kids I'd take the diplomatic approach if the need ever arose

 

[BadBurger]

Shamefully, yea. I was in several fights in my early twenties, including a pretty large bar brawl and a fight that spilled into the street in front of a club.

 

[Soodanim]

I haven’t needed to. It just doesn’t happen to me. Alcohol is usually the thing that does it, and I’m not an angry drunk. Hungry, bored, or happy, but not angry.

 

[IDKFA]

Not including sparing sessions, yeah I had to punch somebody once.

I'm not proud of it, but it was in self defense and it was either I take a punch or strike first. I hit first and knocked him out. I should add that I did catch his limp body so he didn't smash his head on the ground and also sat with him until he came back to reality.

Were you one of these guys?
^__^



*EDIT*
It's an Ozzyman video, darn it.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

No, because I'm not an idiot. Had one occasion where a fist fight would've been appropriate (massive provocation from a dude) but I swallowed my pride and stepped away.

 

[Relativ9]

I was in a few fights in my early twenties, outside of nightclubs taxi cues, ect. I was never the instagator or anything but idk Norwegians are fighty drunks I guess, the situations arrose more than once. Usually not really fist fights though, more tackles and putting people to the ground.

Closest I had to a fist fight is I once stopped a group of five guys from continuing to kick and punch a guy that was already down and had his head cracked open on the pavement, after I fought them away and tried to help him up he was so confused he thought I was one of th guys that had mobbed him and threw several punches at me (one landing pretty nicely), so I restrained him and put him to the ground while trying to talk sense into him. He only realized what had happened when he was being rolled into to the ambulance.

 

[FunkMiller]

Yep. When I was a kid, and usually at the kebab shop about 1am. Never really won or lost any of them, because a bunch of drunk knobheads having a punch up isn't anything people win or lose. I hasten to add I was never an instigator as was always a happy drunk, but you can't avoid the knuckle draggers on a night out sometimes.

 

[nush]

Cant believe this happened in Japan.

Neither of the people involved were Japanese.

 

[V1LÆM]

me vs someone else....probably like 10+ years ago in high school.

breaking up a fight.... maybe about 5 years ago. my drunk auntie started fighting with my mum so i punched her in the face. it only took that one hit to get her on the floor. i don't give a shit about "you don't hit a woman!" or "it's your auntie!". you fucking lay a finger on my mum and i will go after you

 

[thefool]

I learnt with the best:

 

[p_xavier]

I used to fight a lot younger as I was bullied, but sometimes for fun with friends to get kicked out of school and have a few days off. Not as an adult though.

 

[MrS]

many

 

[V1LÆM]

many

 

[Punished Miku]

Not really. But I think I did knife hand chop someone once. And I knocked out somebody once with an elbow but that was a long time ago. Im too old for that shit.

 

[Tschumi]

these awful things often happen

nah i only fought once, in like 3rd grade

 

[Soodanim]

Not really. But I think I did knife hand chop someone once. And I knocked out somebody once with an elbow but that was a long time ago. Im too old for that shit.

 

[Armorian]

Nope. I think I regret it now, it's one of the (sometimes) useful skills in life.

Maybe it will happen but I don't want to at this point

 

[rofif]

No but sometimes I have an urge to

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Yes, a few times while drunk in my 20s.

 

[nush]

Once in my early 20's, I was in the wrong and I pulled a prank that didn't land but nothing worth throwing hands over. He was mad and wanted monetary compensation or a fight. I told him to take his shot then, took one on the jaw but he hit like a pussy and I didn't move. He then stood there not knowing what was next and then walked off.

 

[DeafTourette]

Yes. Long story short... He went to jail, I got stitches on my upper lip.

 

[AlteredForms]

What I’ve been able to ascertain from these stories is that alcohol leads to some wild shit and unwanted drama.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I carry a gun on me everywhere I'm legally able to, and don't frequent places where I'm not frivolously. That forcibly puts me in a zen-like state where I will do everything I possibly can to de-escalate a situation before I have to draw, because I know I'm fucked either way once it gets to that point.

[nkarafo]

Im an antisocial introvert person and i don't like being with other people. So the chances for me to be in that situation are lower than normal people. So no.

Im fit enough and had some boxing experience though, so im ready if someone tries to rob me or something. Still, im kind of a pussy and don't think i'll throw the first punch. Just hope i throw the last one.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Would you prefer I be unarmed, but act like a jackass?

 

[Nobody_Important]

Would you prefer I be unarmed, but act like a jackass?

Yes actually. That way you don't look like a tool and nobody has a chance of getting shot. I call that a win win.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

You pay for my armed private security, and I'll stop carrying.

Deal?

Edit - I was trying to make a point about de-escalation, and frankly you and I both know this discussion will go nowhere.

I know. I'm just giving you a hard time because it's a fist fight thread and you come in talking about how you carry a gun everywhere and hope you don't have to shoot anyone.


It's just funny.

Would it shock you to know that I also desperately hope I never have to draw on anyone as well?

[Cyberpunkd]

They tried to rob me twice, just beat the shit out of them. I have practices boxing for a few years now.

 

[Nobody_Important]

On topic I've only had one incident at the state fair a few years ago. I wouldn't really call it a fist fight though. More of a "missed swings and too much alcohol" kind of thing.

 

[It's all in the wrist]

Never. Diplomacy has always prevailed.

I can't even imagine needing to do that. I work out and hit the punching bag and whatnot, just in case, but man...

 

[bit_blaster]

I take boxing, so the only fights I get into are sparring matches which are safe due to headgear and pads.

I did once punch a guy at a party though because he made a sexually inappropriate remark towards my girlfriend. He went down fast, but I had to have ice on my knuckles for the rest of the day.

 

[Kraz]

Very seldom. It's much easier and healthier for everyone to de-escalate.

There were two fights in my early 20s that were close together and connected to the same group of people from work. This first wouldn't leave my room after I asked them politely to leave when they caused serious offense. They thought they had the right to stay and that it was a better idea to keep provoking. I make it known I train martial arts from childhood(not hardcore, but regular), study books on combat and understand the violence of action. I much prefer peace. They could see I'm young, healthy and strong. They ended up outside the room, backed up down a hallway until they fell down a flight of stairs. "My brothers are gonna get you!" was the last thing I recall him saying about that fight. They never showed.

The second was prompted by the same group. Five of them cornered me unexpectedly. That time I put their representative down hard right in front of them as a statement. Didn't try to permanently injure, but made sure there was plenty of facial and soft tissue damage. The rest backed down. That contributed to a disbanding of their group and stopped their aggression.

 

[Yamisan]

No, thats part of what being an adult is about.

 

[Dark Star]

Nope. I avoid interacting with people as much as possible as an adult. If I have to be around people I'll act as nice, friendly and mature as possible.

If someone tries to hit me, for whatever reason, I'll try to dodge or block the attack, or run away. I don't want to punch someone in the face, break their nose, and end up in jail. So not worth it. I'm trying to keep my record clean.

As a kid, like in middle school, yeah I got into a few fights. Nothing to write home about, just petty school-boy stuff. Kicked a dude in the balls once because he kept coming behind me and poking me in the ass with a piece of wood (woodshop class). We were waiting in line to use the bandsaw and I just got so annoyed I turned around and kicked him. I told my story to the principle and the jerk got detention and I was free to go. There was another time where I got into an fight with a guy in gym class because of a racist thing he said to me. We both got detention that day, but he was the one on the ground crying after I hit him in the face with a badminton racket lol.

 

[haxan7]

Never been in a fight and I don’t plan to. A 21 year old girl punched me in the face a few times but I didn’t hit back.

 

[Quasicat]

Not as an adult, but when I was a sophomore in high school I had some punk come up and punch me in the face. At the time I was lifting to keep myself conditioned for varsity football (at the time I was 6 foot 3 and weighed 280lbs). This thin as a rail kid hits me in the face as we were walking in the hall, because he thought I was gay. The punch caught me off guard but I straightened up and kept walking. The idiot did this in front a camera and we both get called down; he got 4 days suspension and I got nothing out of it.
About a decade later, his friend recognized me and thanked me for not hitting him. He then told me that he had a bone density disease and broke bones very easily. Based on my muscle mass back then, they were all concerned that I would have killed him if I had hit him. Kinda glad I did my first instinct and just kept walking.

 

[T8SC]

Yes.

Do you have a problem with that? Maybe we should take this outside ...

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Fighting blows does not lead to anything good and even if you can win, it is falling too low as person, plus you run the risk of severe legal problems.

It is best not to get involved and not respond even if they insult you, just treat People like crazy.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Never. Barbarians. The lot of you.

 

[GloveSlap]

Never been in a fight and I don’t plan to. A 21 year old girl punched me in the face a few times but I didn’t hit back.

I've been swung on by a few girls before (older sister, etc.) I've found that holding up your your fist where their fist is going to hit shuts it down real quick. Its like hitting a brick wall for them unless they are some kind of She-Hulk.

[NecrosaroIII]

I've never once been close to a situation where I had to fight since turning 18 and only once in high school did I almost get into a fight.

There was a kid in my 10th grade math class that had a deformity (his right hand dint develope correctly so he basically only had one hand). This dude in class was bullying him all period and that pissed me off so after class in the hall, I walked up behind him and kicked him behind the knee. He fell over.

He stood up and got pissy and started bowing up. I told him never to fuck with the kid again. We shouted a bunch but the guy backed down and never bothered the kid again

 

[Ballthyrm]

It happened to me once while leaving a bar. (I was 19, I think)
A dozen of thugs against me and my friends.(we were 6-8 can't remember exact number)

They were drunk and wanted our stuff.
We weren't as drunk and most of us did martial art , couple of BJJ, Judo players.

It ended up bad for them, couple of broken arms and ribs.
I did a Uchi mata on a Guy on concrete, he didn't get back up ... For a while
