Ya it seems that way Gleb.. at least he wandered off.
I have to add i started growing up in the Vancouver area of Canada.
and going all the way back to when i was 5 years old i was getting picked on.
that led to a lot of fights more and more as i grew up.
i think a major reason why ?
Is because i am tall.. 6 foot 4 as a teen and on the thin side.. so i was a target everywhere i went.
And having been the new guy at a lot of schools didn't help.
I don't want people out there to think i am violent maniac.. just that i learned to stick up for myself.
That assault with a weapon thing was 3 guys attacked me so i went after them one by one not an hour later.
I stuck up for myself.
When i was like 13 yrs old i was in a construction site with 2 friends and my buddy mouthed off some comment
and a guy walking by said hey punks don't skate-board in there get out !
before i knew what was going on the guy walked over (a half drunk 20yr old)
And smashed me hard in the mouth.. giving me a fat lip and a small chip in my front teeth.
I totally didn't see it coming and i had not said one damn word.. at any point.
Once again in my life i was standing there minding my own business then BAM attacked !
Long story short i learned as a teen that predators out there look for who they think is the weakest.. and prey on them.
But they never realize that being picked on a lot gives a you TON of experience LOL
And you also start to get tired of it.. and get mad.. REAL MAD !!!
These days i see little shits who watched UFC on TV and they seem to think that qualifies them to be a tough guy.
All i know is i paid my dues.. many fat lip's.. many chipped teeth and many broken bones in my hands (prob 5 times)
I have never been ko'd and never lost a fight.. i let a gang attack me before but that is it.
People think a lot if your polite and friendly your a push over and then screw you around.
Think twice who you screw over.. never know who will snap and go ballistic LOL
EDIT:
i -DID- have an on-topic comment i wanted to post
I was gonna say.. I think the poll results are bullshit.
I really don't believe most of you are doing that much to get mass adoption.
