Street fighting

It also seems now, most places I read world over, see on TV, online the days of the straightener are long gone.

From when I was at school decades ago to experiences as a young adult. You or a friend, relative may fall out with someone, you fought no weapons, hands only , one on one, even if people were watching and it was sorted out win, lose or draw.

You normally would of had mates with you, other fella also, more so no liberties taken, no one joined in other than pull someone off. I've seen fella's ko'd and someone trying kick or jump on their head.....no need and serious damage and police involved if ambulance called, pulled off and restrained.

Now it's more ongoing, comebacks, taunting online, videos, texts, threats. Just brainless.

Unprovoked street attacks, you defend yourself as you see fit to me fair game. If someone attacks you and they end ****ed up so be it, hopefully without a custodial sentence or criminal record that impacts your work or travel.

If you instigate it, you reap what you sow, you also need to learn a life lesson.....always someone out there even if not harder than you will take it further.

 

It's an interesting subject street fights, I mentally also think back a lot of those of course are spill overs from incidents in pubs/bars/nightclubs and of course the fast food late night fight.

Many here would of seen or been involved in those.

Very few personally involved and nothing bar exchange of punches, seen many couple bad ones. Older posters like myself will remember the UK/Ireland old pint glasses thick glass pint jugs and glasses saw as a youngster someone get opened up off a smashed glass, horrendous damage. Pubs with pool tables also, cues and the old heavy ashtrays used, nasty.

 

I don't consider using weapons as fighting. Obviously many people do. That's what a thug does. Uses weapons. Unfortunately that's what you're up against. That's called fight suriving. Not street fighting. A fight should be wla one v one scrap.
