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
Yeah life is all about fine lines and I often think how fate could have been so different. We see people get locked up for ****, purely because they got unlucky. I got lucky over various things when younger, it wasn't that I handled situations any better, it was all down to luck, events falling in your favour. It was good your lad could look after himself, they picked a fight with the wrong person. Just like that lad in Kent, he lobbed something while drunk at a passing vehicle, unlucky for him he didn't bank on the guy in the car being able to handle himself and turning the nuisance into a cabbage. Glad your lad is ok mate and that events thankfully went his way, more through being able to handle himself and training well for future unforseens.
Thing is mate he's a big softee at heart, would certainly do a good deed over bad, but got pushed and pushed until he knew it was him or me, so made the right choice. Tbf to him the **** would have only stood in my way the second time when I was his age and it would have gone off, he has his mom's temperament
