It's partially a joke. Using violence to solve a problem should always be the last resort. He clearly went overboard on his response. So, I did myself in my reply, as sort of a point. (get your guns out, then it's nuke time as things escalate). Beating up a drunk, half your size, is no challenge at all. Learn some freaking manners yourself... dumbass.
Did you miss the drunk guy asking the other guy to hit him? I mean, literally asking, not "asking for it" in the metaphorical sense. If you ask someone to hit you and present your face to be hit, after being a despicable person, it's not "poor manners" for them to hit you.
When you're trying to provoke a response, you don't get to pick the response. or Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He could see he was pissing the dude off, I'm not even sure the man would have hit him until he kicked at his hand.
Hilarious. Just "because he asked for it", doesn't make it right. I'd think people would understand that much. Seems that, as kids, nobody listened to their parents after all.
You are WRONG on every level. The drunk was not beat up, or he would still be in a hospital. The kind gentleman used a measured response, the least amount of force necessary to neutralize a dangerous agressive person. The side affects from the attitude adjustment treatment were very mild. The only one that has shown bad manners here is YOU! And calling a fellow poster a name is a bannable offense. Not even going to get into your "bad joke" of shooting someone, wow!
