Not being a military trained combat warrior like Greg, Herring,
FlaGrim,
et al, I'm not afraid to play my hand.

This is not military combat it is urban warfare and I have had more
than my share of getting in the middle of wife/girlfriend spats with
their abusive partner. It is usually an unrewarding encounter because
they seldom change anything. I have been in physical encounters but
simply talking it out works out better for everyone involved.

As I have long suspected, they
are heavily armed...pussies.

You seem to be more heavily armed than anyone else here.

Greg, no offense, but you seem to think you are the only person on the
planet who has any experience with violence, police, lawyers, lawsuits
or domestic spats.

I have had more than my share of experience but I am older and wiser
now. I am also not so insecure that I can't admit it.

Why is the idea of NOT starting a fist fight being seen as wrong here?
You keep saying we are not in the 1800s but you support vigilantes.

The discussion was about the action Harry took when coming upon a guy
physically abusing a woman and a child.

For the 5th or 6th time ... according to Harry's account he did *not*
start a fist fight. He approached the guy and asked him to stop. The
guy took a swing at Harry. Harry swung back.

I don't call that "starting" a fist fight.

He did strike the first blow on the boney little guy.

sigh
In fact, the boney little guy never even landed a punch.

Well you know he did not break it doing any meaningful work.

Well you know he did not break it defending a poor woman and child.
