Poll: Have you ever punched anyone?

[tmande2nd]

A few times in high school.

Then once at a party when I guy started pulling one of my friends clothes off and dragging her into a van. He said he was drunk and it did not count.

His van still has a dint in it where I tossed his head against it.
No one reported it, but hey it felt good to pummel that bastard.

I've punched a few people, and it's never an enjoyable experience. The one time I had slammed someone in the head, it ended up breaking more than a few fingers. The other times were generally just hitting them in the gut, but those were rarely "Fully" serious.

People, I implore you, don't punch a guy in the face. It hurts. And by that, I mean it hurts your fist, - Go for the throat instead.

The good part is, the guy who I punched in the head wasn't in good shape. Seems I somehow hit near his temple or something, heard he had a ruptured...Bloody...Something. Really can't remember.

Only once since I'm a very mellow and peaceful person 99% of the time... and I can't really remember it, I can remember what led up to it, took my baby sister (ok she's 20 now but she will always be my baby sister) out clubbing on her 18th birthday, playing designated driver for her and a few of her friends, to hopefully put my reaction in a bit more context I love my sister to death, she means the world to me!

Anyway while in the club I was keeping an eye on her from the bar as there were the usual dicks out and about at clubs on weekends looking to get laid and generally being douches and this being my sisters first night out she might not have been aware of the sorts of people who are out there.

Now there was one guy who was hounding her and I had a really bad feeling, then when he grabbed her and tried to kiss her I got up and started walking over, when she shoved him away and yelled at him, his pride must have been bruised because he got angry and backhanded her... that made somehing snap in my and I cant quite remember what happened next, I remember running to her... but I kind of had a "black out" moment and came back to my right mind being restrained on the floor by 2 bouncers because apparently no matter what anyone said I wouldn't stop and that right there terrifies me

Since then I just try not to do anything that will get me into anything like that situation again, haven't been clubbing in years, never go anywhere near alcohol outside of the house, dont leave the house after 9pm on weekends if I can help it

I don't regret it howevever, being there for my sister, not for a second!

Not any more the last guy I punched,I broke his jaw...Getting arrested for battery isn't fun.

 

[Riki Darnell]

I've back-handed someone before. A friend of mine got too drunk at a party and kept trying to get all touchy with me and I kept telling him stop then I finally back-handed him across the face >:3 haven't talked to him since lol

 

[Dark Prophet]

I was in the 8th or 9th grade when there was gang OK there were only 4 of them but any ways they would beat me up from time to time, then once one of them tried to beat me up by himself, that was a mistake on his part I broke his nose and some of his fingers, that is the most brutal thing I have ever done.

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

Once in a high school fight(I won) and other than that no.

 

[Zen Toombs]

....Yes.... Although it didn't cause permanent damage or anything.

Still feel bad about it though.

 

[Shifty]

Plenty times. I grew up in a rough place. Saturday night bar fights were very common, gangs and families stuck together . Until I moved away I thought that was the norm everywhere. It did teach me to defend myself and not be afraid of a scrap. It also taught me that only cowards use weapons and only cowards gang up on someone.

I remember before when I was very young I used to think that if I hit someone full force in the face it could kill them. Turns out if someone is ready for a box then 90% of the time they will be fine. (I know this from both sides)

I am a easier going now. But i think that while it was a harsh education it was a good one. I learned to stand up for myself and for others and not to run away. I think that everyone should be in at least one fight in their lives. Makes no difference if they win or lose but just for the confidence of standing up for themselves.

 

[Fijiman]

If you are a guy and have younger/older brothers it's almost guaranteed that you will fight with them at least once in your lives, so yes I have. I also got in a small fight at school once and got suspended for a week, but that's the only other time I can think of.

Also the poll is missing for me.

 

[Philol]

I've never hit or fought with anyone, and I hope to not have too, it's not in my nature.

 

[Tiger Sora]

I've been in quite afew fights in school. Grade 4-5 I jacked this kid in the nose because he wouldn't give back our mini sticks (mini hockey sticks), I had a real bad temper when I was young. Blood gushed out of him.

Grade 12 the farmer kids decided to take my hat and play keep away I didn't play along. Walked up to the biggest guy, challenged him to a fight. One of my punches was square in his eye. Next day when they brought me in to the office whoa what a shiner he had.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Yes. A while back when I was in Grade 8, I used to have to take the bus to and from school and this group of kids used to harass me on the bus. One day I guess I just snapped and punched the one kid square in the face. It was as much a surprise to me as it was everyone else. The way I remember it, one second I'm just sitting there trying to ignore the annoying fuckhead and the next I'm sitting there with my fist extended out in front of me and he's clutching his face in pain. On the plus side though, those annoying kids never bothered me again.

 

[wottabout]

My memory of the event might be distorted because it happened so long ago, but I recall a time in kindergarten when some boy was bothering a friend of mine, so I punched him. I got in trouble and had to sit in the corner, and then I never punched anyone again.

 

[Chalacachaca]

Not since my high school years, I'm a good kid now.

 

[lRookiel]

Yes, to beat the shit out of a bully, had it coming....

 

[feriwan]

Only with my brother when I was younger and he got me mad... I'm actually not that old yet though (under 18)....
Other then that (not that it would really matter anyway) I can't remember...

 

[F'Angus]

Yes, many people, although I've only been in one actual two-sided fight...and in that one I missed my punch (the guy ducked) and got punched in the face myself.

Not proud of a lot it though.

 

[Realitycrash]

Punched a few people, two girls included, but every time except once it was provoked (i.e I was attacked first). Nothing I'm proud of, because fighting is lame overall, but it is the truth.
