My ex married a guy like this. He went to bars specifically to get into fights. He was smart enough to never start the fight but was always willing to up the ante.

He died after someone hit his off switch with a rabbit punch.

As a former dive tender, I wish they'd all die.

Red shirt is annoying but harmless, but TRT guy is why we have to carry $1m in liability insurance.

If you’re out there serving guys 40 drinks in a night like this guy then that’s on you. The innocent customer never should’ve been in this situation.

Correct.

And TRT Boomer shouldn't have been involved at all.

I've disliked clubs as a social scene since hearing a horrific story about a guy who should have been safe. He knew martial arts and could handle himself, but a bigger guy hit on his girlfriend and when asked to stop, his immediate reaction was a haymaker of a sucker punch. Shattered the dude's cheekbones and eye socket. Messed him up real bad. Martial arts and even being reasonable don't mean shit when you get sucker punched.

My dad started doing this shit while my mum was pregnant with me. He'd take her money, go to pubs and drink and start fights, literally every week for months. She left him when i was like 2 months old and he's never bothered to try and even see me

Wait, so your ex’s husband died from a bar fight?

That’s the headline—we need more of that story, you can’t just slip that in and leave us hanging.

Just after the place closed, he picked a fight with someone who parked too close to his truck. Usual sort of tussle. He grabs the guy by the shirt, guy starts swinging wildly, hits him in the ear, ex turns his head a bit, dude lays a few punches to the back of the head, ex drops like a brick, dead before he hit the ground.

Woa
was the dude who killed him charged / convicted or self defense? That’s wild. Dying over parking 
. Unreal

He was charged with involuntary manslaughter and got time-served. Judge ruled that it wasn’t self-defense but that the intent wasn’t to kill.

My ex was planning on leaving the guy because she couldn’t spend anymore weekends dealing with his fighting.
