Not saying you're wrong for that. I don't like seeing people defenseless in most situations. Especially over some shite talking. Maybe if he snuck him or something I'd feel differently. Just my opinions.

That was a QT station. Did it say where it was? Like how the employee walks out and says stop videoing. Like it is his call.

he really wanted them to suck his dick.

Fair enough. I get that.

Eh. I think walking away is the correct thing to do. The guy here almost did the right thing, instead he chose to turn back around and re-engage and almost ended up doing something incredibly serious.

Sounds like a bunch of losers who feel this need to live vicariously through others for some reason.

Fist fights between idiots get 7 plus pages?

There's a difference between fighting to defend yourself or to get another person to stop harassing you and assault

i think his self defense actions were reasonable.

if some stranger repeatedly comes at me and starts a fight with me, i'm not stopping until he is knocked out or incapacitated.

the trucker doesn't know if this guy is going to get back up and come at him again, possibly with a weapon this time.

that trucker did nothing wrong.

it would be bad form to keep beating on somebody if it was mutually agreed upon combat. but that NY punk assaulted the trucker and he was just exercising his right to self defense.

You might be able to say he "should have" stopped but, like I said. Any failure on the part of the person being attacked to act rationally is the fault of the ATTACKER.

You should start lobbying to change the law.

Trying to fight someone doesn't give the other person the right to do whatever they want in that fight

correct. the trucker certainly couldnt have raped or robbed him, etc.

but it does give the other person a right to bust the attacker's head with their fists.

But only to a certain point.

I remember the situation from a year or two ago where the two dudes tried to rob a store at gunpoint, and the owner started shooting and hit one of them. He chased the other one (didn't catch him) and came back to the store, kicked the gun away, went and got his other gun, loaded it, and then shot the dude on the ground in the face killing him. I don't remember what ended up happening with him, but I remember all the talk of him being charged with first degree murder and whatnot, since he came back and shot someone in the face who was already subdued and no longer a threat.

Sure, this is a little different because it was a fistfight, but you can't legally just sit there and wail on someone until your hands hurt if they are unconscious...doesn't matter who started it.

I don't completely disagree with you, but legally you can get yourself into a LOT of trouble with your line of thinking.

Laws are often stupid. I think we can all agree on that.

Just because the law mandates a thing doesn't make that the right thing and I'm discussing what is RIGHT here.
