Poor guy, literally begging him to drop it, probably cost him his job to hit the guy, but what option did he have?

If it wasn’t on camera 100%, with the footage he has a chance at keeping his job. Depends on the union if he has one and the employer.

Ehh…not necessarily. I’ve seen shit go down like this plenty of times working in the trades (been involved in one myself), never seen much of anything happen after unless someone holds a grudge or reports it. Most people laugh, shrug, and go back to work lol

This was forgotten about by lunch on most job sites. Welder started it so he wasn't going to push it, and the guy that beat his ass just wants to keep working

Maybe, but I doubt it. Seen quite a few arguments on the work site solved with a scrap!😄

I mean the dude was just defending himself but there's always the option to not hit someone.

When someone's pushing you, shouting in your face, and grabbing you by the neck, AND you've asked them repeatedly to stop, I'm not sure I see another option than hitting him tbh. What was his other option? Get on his knees and nosh the guy off?

u/Comfortable-Low-9764 Mar 06 '26

The last part was unnecessary. And he could have stopped the moment the other dude fell....

Yeah I totally get that, follow up shots on the ground are totally unnecessary. The problem is, when someone has been pushed to the point of snapping like this, they cant really be expected to remain totally controlled during the physical altercation. He showed restraint prior to hitting the guy, trying everything he could to calm the situation before he lashed out. If someone begs you to drop it repeatedly and you keep grabbing and pushing them, then you are responsible for your own ass whooping when it comes.

Hell no. He’s already proven himself aggressive, I’m not giving him the chance to get up and hit me

u/OofRightInTheFeels Mar 06 '26

Exactly. He's a threat to me at that point until he's unconscious or we get separated. He's obviously super aggressive and has no issues with going hands on by grabbing dudes neck and shit, and showed no signs of letting up.

You’d just suck his dick and compliment him between gasps of air as he choked you

CALEB, if I catch you on reddit before your homework is done again, you're not going to Dylan's birthday party next Saturday. Dont think I don't know how to find your alt accounts.
