This is not a post about Bush or anything but something personal that happened to me at my favorite hangout on Friday. I've always kinda prided myself on not really getting in situations not in my control but sometimes you have to make a stand. And I kinda paid a price for defending some friends of mine.
Situation was this. I was sitting with two friends of mine (both female) one goes outside to smoke so I'm there with her sister. Guy comes down asks if he can sit there we both say no cause our friend is sitting there the idiot does anyway. (We both knew he was drunk the second he came to us and we never saw the idiot there before) He sat down anyway starts taking my frineds drink then starts taking my drink we both tell him to get away then he starts grabbed his hand up my friends dress grabbing her a**. I go stand by my friend and the idiot leaves.
My friend and I start talking and I turn around and he is sitting where the karaoke host sits and is playing with his equipment when the host got up for a second. The host has several thousand dollars worth of karaoke equipment and has already been hit at the spot and has had a heart attack. I say to him that he can't sit there he should get up the idiot says to me " F you get out of my face" nevermind I wasn't really in his face but that's not really the point.
After that he starts harassing the karaoke host and my two female friends and I try to separate him as we thought he was going to attack the host. Security finally came and he shoved one of my female friends. Security took him out of the building and other then being annoyed we were trying to go on with enjoying ourselves.
The idiot comes back in through another entrance and one of my friends decides to escort the idiot out I decide to follow cause I didn't want to see this person hurt my friend which I htought he was going to. My friend was outside trying to calm the idiot down then he starts challenging me. Seriously out of the blue I am standing there just watching. I tell him if he has a problem with me I'm right here and then he punches me square in the mouth. I for some strange reason don't go down but while I was going to kill the punk a** security came and started spraying the idiot with pepper spray. The idiot took off.
The cops came and they found the idiot passed out face first on Ventura Blvd at Tampa. My friend and I went to idendify him and we DID press charges. I got a split lip out of the situation trying to be there for my friend.
Moral of the story is don't get involved.

I really hope your last comment was sarcasm.
Robert I got involved and got a split lip in the process. The right thing feels very wrong to me.
Would you have felt better had you let it go and the a-hole ends up hurting the woman?
A split lip is a small price to pay as opposed to the guilt you would have felt if that had happened.
NO but the women would have probably hurt the a-hole far more then I ever would and that's a fact. I wish I could figure out how to email my picture to you. I really didn't think I could get any uglier but damned if there was a way.
Robert I know if the same thing happens again I would do the same thing unfortunately. But I do have the right to be pissed off at that a-hole and taking away one of the few places I go and expect not to be hassled.
