Well, I believe you, from experience those sorts of things do tend to stick in your mind in considerable detail. A plastic doesn't sound quite so bad as a glass thankfully....
Then why did you make it sound like it was glass ("shattered", "covered in blood")? I have to say I was assuming you were fictionalising / embellishing the incident, which if it was a plastic pint glass, you were, by omission. The descriptions did make me wince, and made me wonder why you were telling me this...
It was the kind of plastic that you find on CD cases. I have no excuse to be telling you this. I wasn't telling you out of an act of boasting, more so because I felt like sharing my experience of it. Sorry if it offended any of you.
Theres only one way to deal with a bully, and from experience it isnt asking them to leave you alone.
There are very few situations where that isn't true. Leaving is almost always the best option unless there is direct physical threat to someone else or no option of getting away from the situation. I've been in situations where heated verbal exchanges have threatened to become violent; reconciliation and wit are by far the most mature and effective tools to employ in resolving such conflicts, and failing that, just backing down and moving away.
I wholly agree with you, Jon, but sometimes people aren't willing to reconcile; a fight is most often than not the only objective for some chav/yobs. They were literally asking for a fight, and I used the weapon as an automatic repulse. Desperate times often call for drastic measures, and I don't condone what I did in anyway. I simply used what I could to try my best to defend myself and my friends, and I don't think anybody can doubt me on that.
I dont know if walking away is the best response , say someone walks past you and shouts loudly at you I have in the past gone crazy mad at them , Ive chased people down the road with a machete for pissing on my van and threatening to throw a bottle at me . Ive set my alsation on people vandalising cars in fact I sent her after a man pissing in the street ,again I feel this may deter him from doing that again as he may now have this fear of ghostly alsations coming out of the dark after his private parts . sometimes I let things pass sometimes I hit someone with a brick I like a sort of random approach as for using weapons Ive never started a fight in my life but I grew up seeing people who lose fights stomped and kicked in the head ,I had one of my schoolhood friends killed by being rabbit punched and kicked when he was down ,so Im not going to lose a fight I dont carry weapons but if you hit me Im going to use any weapon to hand to win . also a few years ago I was told by a doctor to avoid fighting unless I want to be paralysed, so if you pick a fight with me Im not going to play about Im going to beat the crap out of you and if I kill you well I will be alive and maybe go to jail for a bit but you will be dead . The lesson in all this is dont shout at people you dont know in the street, dont rile people because you dont know how that person will react ...you can do that maybe a thousand times but then you run into somene who shoots you in the head
youz are all fuckin animals man .........plastic glasses dont shatter they crack and splinter ............setting an ally on someone having a piss in the street fuck me jonny your not telling me you have never had a piss in the street . hippys my arse ......why dont yer all go and join the bushwackers at millwall .
well the guy wasnt pissing against a wall he was pissing out into the middle of the street where people were passing and making them jump out of the way of his piss , and nope I dont think I have ever pissed in the street she didnt hurt the guy just shock him slightly and she was on a long lead ,she was just seeing what he was doing and may have thought he had a sausage she wasnt growling didnt harm him with the vandals she was growling her heckles were up and she looked like some sort of demon dog I taught her to do that on a hand signal . and your right this isnt very hippy behavior , I should try to be nicer
Activist not pacifist, l.a matthews didnt look for trouble at all so its cool, as long as he didnt knife them or anything
so booting someone in the head at full force and not even knowing wether he was one of the crowd you were with (mates) (as you stated) is ok ?...........
how do you know he was"nt looking for trouble (were you there ?) AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ACTIVIST NOT PACIFIST ?........l.a........king of the kids
Wow, this seems totally out of perportion. Whether right or wrong it happened, and it done, I don't really see why LA is being made out to look like this bad guy, becuase really I don't think that he is at all. I think a lot of times in these situations our instincts just take over. You arn't thinking what's right or wrong. Everyone has the answer in retrospect, but it doesn't work that way. Once I bitch slapped this guy across the face, becuase he said something that pissed me off, I didn't even think, I just reacted. Was it the right thing to do? No way, but it happened, and I don't think I'm a bad person becuase of it.
believe me cd ive done things not very nice and ive regretted but i would"nt glorify it on a so called hippy website .....maybe am wrong but that what this thread feels like ..........gloryfying violence ......sad
I don't think it was supposed too though. It was just ment to share stories, we talk about a lot of different things on here, so I don't see why this is so different. I really think that's all it was supposed to be, people sharing stories, like we do on everything else.
nah sorry not buying it .........theirs a certain cliche on here ......NOW IF I PUT A THREAD UP SAYING THAT I THREW ACID IN SOMEBODYS EYES .......do you think i would get a fair judgement ?.......NOT AT ALL .........I KNOW IT AND YOU KNOW IT AND SO DO THE CLICHE ..........DONT GET ME WRONG LUKE IS CERTAINLY ENTITLED TO PUT WHAT EVER THREAD HE WISHES TO POST ON A FREEDOM OF SPEECH FORUM "AS ALSO I AM TO QUESTION HIM .
