A guy in Kent got cleared yesterday for hitting a man and leaving him with brain damage, I hasten to add the other man started the trouble so I had a feeling he would get off. Got done with some lessor charge but could still face prison.
This is where it gets difficult, we as kids and all our kids, cousins etc have been made to learn how to box, some went on to be very decent , but initially it was so you knew how to look after yourself in certain situations. 3 weeks ago I get a call at 1.30 am, from my lad, all of a panic, hes at home im i Ireland 'dad this lad as been going at me all night, kept standing in my way when I was going to the bar, asked me who the **** i thought i was, didnt like me or my mates and he was going to do us later, then we lost him, a few hours later, my mates go their way, I finish my drink and go out the other door to get a taxi, he's standing there with 4 of his mates, they tell him he's being a **** but he won't listen, they leave him, so its just us 2, he says come on me and you, I try and talk it down, he's having non of it, and says come on if you don't
hit me ill hit you, so I knocked him out, I tried to pick him up when he came round but he was still being a **** so I left him,I'm just worried I'll get in trouble now with the police' calmed him down and told him it will get sorted. Nothing went wrong but could have, a very fine line. Turns out in his case he'd have been OK, as the following week the bouncer said to him, How's your hand, what do you mean, how's yours hand, I saw what went on and he ****ing deserved it, good right hook by the way, you've obviously done a bit
