One punch and out...

[mopar]

It sounds like instinctive reaction to me. I probably would have done the same thing.

People call me an Asshole all the time. Especially my wife.
Sometimes I am.
Doesn't bother me a bit usually.
I won't touch somebody in a situation like that, you are just asking to escalate the situation.
But its over and done now.
Did what you felt you had to do.

Cool story bro...


Did you stand over him when he woke up, laugh and yell, "Dude, you got the F@CK KNOCKED OUT B!@TCH!!! HAHA!"

[Delfuego]

Had to do it, video would be accepted too...

meh, the guy was probably a douche, but to be honest you should never reach out and touch anyone you don't know, ever, in a situation like that. sure, you let him have it this time. next time you might find a knife in your belly, or worse. never a good idea to make physical contact with a stranger. obviously once the d-bag swings, he should be fair game. i just don't see why it isn't easier and safer for everyone to descalate the situation by talking calmly, politely, and sometimes even backing down. your manhood isn't at stake. speaking in a humble voice and trying to explain the situation doesn't mean you don't have balls. don't get me wrong, im not trying to preach to you, the guy was probably an idiot and probably had it coming, but its just my opinion.

knowing how to fight or carrying or whatever the situation may be, doesn't mean we should puff up our chest when people confront us in and effort to be "the man". in fact, i think those of us with the ability to protect ourselves need to have even more responsibility to avoid confrontation at ALL costs. thats not necessarily directed to you, ive just seen a lot of threads on here about almost drawing on people, getting in fights, what have you. and almost every single one has to do with said person being just a tad too puffy and afraid to look meek and escalating a situation that probably didn't need to be escalated, even if the assailant is a complete idiot d-bag. someday someone could get seriously injured or even killed, and frankly even if its the bad guy its not a result i think anyone really wants.

I am late and haven't read all the responses but I will say I don't think you did anything wrong. I'm not sure what to think about some people here saying "I would have never patted him on the shoulder in the first place". WTF? What have we come to when you people consider a seemingly friendly pat on the shoulder with a stranger an invitation to a dangerous altercation?

The dude was a dick by calling you an asshole. I think you handled it fine by laughing it off and giving him a friendly pat. He had no right to swing at you and you had every right to knock his ass out for that. Then the fight was over, no knives, no guns. OVER. That's the way it should be.

A polite society is one where a man gets a broken nose for taking a unprovoked cheap shot on another man. God I wish we stilled lived in a world where two men could solve their problems this quickly without always escalating to knives, guns and police.

That dick got his ass handed to him. Good job.

I say good work, what happened to people minding their own business. I'm sure you love your dogs, tell that asshat to go call PETA when he wakes up.

[cofi]

always always always try to calm down the situation

All of you that think the OP did something wrong are as soft as baby thighs, period.
