Anyone got into a fight?
Discussion
Yes is my answer. But I’ve the cautionary, it’s always better to walk away tale. I’m not an internet hard man. I’m the one you all don’t need to pick on. I’m actually f
king hard as nails and I can fight. Very very well and if you abuse me or my partner I will first of all try to reason with you first then if you refuse to back down I will tell you you need to stop or your going to get hurt. The photos above were following a chat I was having with someone who’d kicked one of my dogs. I nearly lost an eye and I was lucky that the knife they used only went in an inch as I know how to defend myself and only use violence as a last option and every time it has happened I’m utterly devasted and wracked with remorse. The photos were last summer. I was arrested for the 13th time in my life. I’ve still never been charged.
I found out after this incident I’ve got something called a pheochromocytoma. It’s because my loyal partner told me that after the above she had had enough. She was absolutely fuming with me after this particular fight because I came very close to being killed.
Why was I arrested? It was because I was the only one still standing when the police arrived the others were either severely injured or had ran. My other half reckoned there were at least 6 men with 6 men surrounding me when someone from behind me tapped me on shoulder and as I turned round I took a baseball bat to the eye. A millimetre lower no eye. Knife an inch deeper, an arterial bleed and I’ve had a few. I’d have been introuble.
I’m not listing the damage I did as it appals me. But I did bite through the calf muscles of at least two of them to get back on my feet. One of these two was female and kicking me. I didn’t care at the time but it broke my heart when I saw myself on cctv biting her.
My tumour is very very rare and it’s been on my adrenal gland since I almost lost my right hand at 15. I became a fast and fearless rugby league prop forward but never made a full pro as the impact I went into tackles meant I frequently broke bones.
My tumour means if I lose it and I’ve been getting worse. See above. I absolutely will not stop if whoever is in front of me won’t acquiesce. I was diagnosed last week and it’s taken this long as this last fight was the final straw.
My diagnosis this week is truly life changing for me as I’m a senior professional in a large consultancy. My fiercely loyal friends and I’ve not many left, call it righting wrongs. I lost one friend after I jumped on a bus full of opposition footy fans because I saw someone being punched. That’s how utterly reckless I can be as it was full of scousers outside Wembley and I’m a Manchester United fan. I got stabbed that time as well. Released without charge and I didn’t press charges for the stabbing as the
involved will never use a knife again. I’ve started researching and writing a book about my tumour as I firmly believe it also contributes to the ptsd veterans suffer given the mental health and horrid anger issues I’ve got. I’m in therapy and having surgery to remove the tumour and hopefully it will remove my temper and then the therapy I’ll be having for years because I hate hurting anyone or thing and will eventually be normal hopefully.
If you’re in a fight you’ve already lost. I’ve posted this because of if you have survived a fight and you’re proud of it there is something very wrong with you. Inflicting pain on another human being is awful.
Always walk away. One day you won’t. Cheers. An actual remorseful internet hard man.
Just say I’m sorry if you done something wrong. Call the police if you being abused. Get physical as a last resort.
Don’t be rude in my experience it’s ill or ill mannered people that get in trouble.
Edit as I posted from my phone and my grammar is s
t and actually I thought it important and more shameful about one being a woman. It was the first time I’d hurt a women so I knew I was going to be jailed or killed eventually and got much needed help. Edited by Gone a bit AMG on Tuesday 21st March 18:16

I had a mate who started a road rage incident with another bloke and got battered.
My chum who I had known from school and into adulthood was on the large side and didn't have the filter most people have for avoiding physical conflict so would get into pushing and slapping matches with people from time to time.
This event started just before a dual carriageway when some chap pulled out of a side road into the traffic in an inconsiderate sort of fashion. There was then a bit of an aggressive drive up the dual carriageway to the traffic lights wenceupon my buddy (we were actually in separate cars) got out of his car and lolloped his hefty frame up to the car of the driver he felt had wronged him.
The other guy raised his electric window, my mate tried the door handle but the car was locked. So my mate heads back to his car but as he's walking away it's clear some force is acting on him which causes him to turn around and lollop back and tap aggressively on the guys window.
He does this a couple of times and the other driver opens the door and gets out.
There's a bit of pushing and shoving but then the fists come out and the other driver batters him until he falls over and gives up. Blood spirting. Ambulance called.
Clearly the other guy knew how to fight and also had the sense not to get involved until he could no longer help himself. It lasted about 30 seconds. But I would say the lesson lasted a lifetime.

I then struck up a friendship with the janitor and he started teaching me karate. Ultimately I challenged the bully to compete in a karate tournament. We met in the final, where despite being injured in a previous round I managed to win.

Thanks very much. I am on a long journey but now know why I’ve got into scrapes I have. Doesn’t make them any easier to deal with though.
You can cook as well as fight! Good luck with your treatment. Take care and stay safe.

You've obviously learned some hard lessons from this and it sounds like you've a way forward perhaps now you know how/why.

Gotta ask but why did they kick one of your dogs?
I never actually got an answer as these kind of events start and end very quickly and I don’t always remember because It’s not like in films. But kicking a six month old puppy in a park so hard it yelps and leaves the ground means I’m immediately on edge to a level you wouldn’t understand if you didn’t know me and focusing on not losing my temper because no one else knows at that point what might happen if I do.I cannot stop myself from intervening if I see an issue around me but unless I get hurt or I see or hear something that just is too offensive for a reasonable human to say i can control myself and my temper. We do not understand why this is yet but I’m hoping if I keeping working to find out it will make up for some of the hurt I’ve caused to the families of the people I have hurt. As I can start to help others like me.
I’ve made more new friends than close friends lost because of this and if I can get this tumour linked to PTSD on my journey then everything I’ve been through will be worth while.

king hell!! Some very good advice in that post .
Never had a fight in 42 years and hope to never have one in the next 42.
Saw some guy on IG. Think he is an ex Navy Seal or similar. He was saying his best defence is his legs to run away, or words to that effect.
Closest I came was when I was a young lad and was accosted by some ruffians on the way home from school. One of them walloped me in the ear. I ran home crying and my mum went full rage and went to look for them. Luckily for them they had legged it.

As far as I'm concerned, he/they deserved everything they got. I'm glad you're OK I had a good friend - regular at the gym, and quite "built".
Very nice friendly guy - would never start anything - but as several have mentioned on here, he would stand up for himself if provoked and would certainly step in if a scenario warranted it (girls being beaten up etc).
He is now dead. Exact details were never determined - it was a night when England were playing a few years ago (Euros I think) and it happened outside a pub. It seems clear that he was involved with one person at a pub, and said person then found him at another pub - but brought several mates. It seems that in the ensuing fight he hit his head (or his head was hit). He was in a coma for several days, and then died.
Exactly what happened isn't known, and - after investigation - nobody was actually charged.
