is it really okay to hurt people who hurt other people?

If you are so conflicted about your violent tendencies, speak to your doctor.

Seeking approval in an on-line forum will only lead to more assaults and your eventual incarceration,

or worse.

Exactly man....Issues!!

I am not proud to say that i have used violence in the past, i put a few bullys on there back and no it didint feel that great after i walked away from the incident. I grew up in a rough family where fist where used too easily, i tought it was the way men where suposed to act, it got me in and out of trouble too many times.

I dont wish violence on anyone, but i wont back down when i see someone in need of help.

Okay fine, forget i said anything.

It was just a question. simple yes or no would have sufficed.

It's more complicated than a simple yes or no. Even your critics over your fairly recent thread activity have stated so.


The world isn't simply just Black or White.

There are grey areas.

A guy was stabbed repeatedly in our town centre on Saturday night. People apparently stood and watched.

Now I'd like to think I would have tried to help.

But the risk of my son losing his father would probably force me not too.

And that's why people should be allowed to arm themselves against such violence......
Samuel Colt made all men equal.....and all bullies need their asses kicked..........

I've plead guilty numerous times to incidents where I took action to prevent someone else being injured or where I stood up against police brutality in the moment. I plead guilty because these actions are technically criminal in the commonwealth where I live. You can tell you are a sheep ruled by wolves when it is illegal to protect yourself or other innocent people.

I would say, while it's a good rule of thumb to try and prevent a hurter using as little violence at all, since the first hurter likely has the intention to hurt, then be brought hurt upon himself. It's likely he will hurt again. So if it's necessary to hurt the hurter to stop him, it may be needed. This is not the concept of payback, but more like practical action.

generally i try to stay out of it. best not to get involved because you dont know why its happening.

it would have to be pretty extreme for me to jump in.

if i saw a child getting beat up by an adult or something of course.....

even if i saw a guy smack a lady i probably wouldnt do anything besides maybe call the cops and thats a maybe.
its not my place and i dont know what is going on.

what if i see a guy beating the hell out of another guy??? how do i know the guy getting beat down didnt just try to molest the other guys kid??? there is no way to know
how do i know the guy didnt just smack that lady after she hit him 10 times, scratched him, and tried to squeeze his balls.....

so, i dont get involved. i am not a cop. i am not a protector of people.

see what i mean. thats a dumb example but you get the point.

Do two wrongs make a right? I say let God have revenge.

I would rip the persons head off for that.

Police and arrest be damned, stab a guy, be prepared for a total beat down.

No ifs, no buts, no coconuts.
