Update. Apparently drunk dad went back up there today and requested a copy of the security cam footage. The director and an employee who were the only witnesses to the event informed him that the cameras were mistakenly left off yesterday. :D

He won't call the cops. He'll be too afraid of what will come his way if he does. Good for you for being the kinda guy that cares about others. The guy deserved to get his ass kicked.

Really glad to hear the event staff were on your side, lookout. And I agree, the guy needs more than a single ass-kicking, and I totally understand how your temper got the better of you in the situation.

But if you're looking for ways to help keep your cool in the future, it might help to remind yourself that often in these types of family situations, humiliating the dad will only lead to extra hitting of the kid later. Personally, I'd call family services on him now, before the kid's latest round of bruises fades.

Me bein me here, but at what point is enough...enough?! Didn't you walk away and HE follow you? Didn't HE repeatedly violate your personal space? Didn't HE put his hands on you first? Didn't HE poke, antagonize, shove, push...you? (while you were walking away) You simply defended yourself? This guy totally deserved what he initiated. He started it, you finished it - where's the problem?
Maybe I better read your description of the events again - I gotta be missing something.

Yea, they call it aggravated assault. I don't think you have much to worry about. If you ever see him again just save yourself the time and call the cops. If he is drunk they will arrest him.

I was thinking the same thing. As much as this jerk deserved what he got, calling family services would be a better approach in the future.

I find bragging about good deeds unseemly.


eta: I find bragging about *my* good deeds unseemly. I am happy to brag about the good deeds of others. Carry on.

good job Look out , butthead had it comeing !!!

I find finding things unseemly unseemly.

i just wanted to say that because of the symmetry of it. and because shut up bigv.

Is that not just a veiled brag? making it clear that you do in fact do good deeds? Would it not have been more seemly just to say nothing?

fuck off

:lol:

you're so fulla shit sometimes you have no idea how funny you are. You should learn to take yourself less seriously. Guess I'm on ignore now, huh? :D

I seemly to have stumbled into a spat. :corn:

I have nothing to mention, because I don't do any good deeds.

(Wait, this is starting to sound like Swankers on I'm Sorry I haven't A Clue.)

Good deeds? Well, a bunch of people were wrong on the internet, and I corrected them.
