So i was at MY Birthday party this weekend and it was going great i was BBQing people were tlkn laughing having a good time. Until my mothers boyfriend decided to get stupid. He was drunk and wanted to leave in the car but my mom hid the keys. He was going crazy looking for them all over the house lke a dummy.... so after everyone sang happy b-day to me we were ALL sitting in the living room having cake and tlking when this fools storms in the living room and goes to my moms face yelling aggressivly for the keys.....

NOW this is when he pulled a knife from his pocket and pionted it at my mom from his thigh so that the rest of the room couldnt see it, BUT I SAW IT!!!! I jump up asking him wht the **** is up with the knife, at this point he ties to hide it again cuz he's been caught. he turns at me and im yelling at him to give it to me he does but i unleash the mother of all right hooks on his jaw and put him to sleep for(no bull****) 6 min, im tlkn flat on his back out snoring!!! first time i ever did somthing like that.

Would you guys have done the same thing or should i not have hit him after i took the knife?

Is your mother still with this dude?

If he has these tendencies the you shouldnt have let him be at your party, there were probably kids present and now their image of you is of a violent person who may have killed a man.

no sir!!!!!

that was the first time any1 saw him aggresive like that. yes there were kids around and thats why i felt so horrible at first, but man it was just fast and it was a quick reaction, almost like a reflex.

no sir!!!!!

Glad to hear it.

The guy got off lightely.

I would have done the same!

i would have stamped on his face after no one disrepects my mum

I think when he gave you the knife you should have asked him to sleep it off in another room or something like that. Enjoyed the party, and talked to him about it later, if he was a dick about it when confronted later, then pop him...

But in that situation it sounds as though he gave you the knife, the threat was gone, and you struck him just out of anger, and did so off of instinct, you need to check that and make sure you're not the type to fly off the handle, or you'll find youself hitting someone who won't give you the car keys some day.

If you had popped up and struck him as soon as you saw the knife, that'd be defense and i'd give it the ok.
or if f you had made a concious decision to hit him there after he gave you the knife then i wouldn't worry about it, you were punishing him for threatening your mom during your party. It wasn't necessarily the right thing to do, but you at least thought about what you were doing.

But the fact that you hit him when the threat was gone, and it was just instinctual means you need to get yourself in check.

Sorry dude But I disagree 100% , guess you have never been in a home with someone like this guy , If this mother****er had the balls to do this infront of a group of people , he would have done it again but next time when nobody is around to stop him, next time he stabs her or worst , I would have done the samething , good props for making sure this ****face never trys to hurt your mom ever again !

No reason to be sorry, i see your point. But it wasn't fair to assume i've never been in a home with someone like that guy when you don't really know me or that guy. I grew up in bars, i had to deal with alot of drunk *******s from a really young age. My only issue with the TS is that he handled the situation backwards, when there was a serious threat he reacted by negotiating, when the threat was gone is when he attacked without thinking.

If he punched the guy when he saw the knife, that would have made sense to me, if he negotiated to get the knife, then decided that he needed to teach this guy that kind of behavior will no go unpunished and then hit the guy, that'd also make sense to me, also if he fealt the threat wasn't over, that'd be fine too. But to negotiate for the knife, then just punch someone without knowing why, is dangerous behavior.

I suggested the sleep it off technique for safety reasons, this gives you the opportunity to talk to dude when he's sober, but to attack him then kick him out leads to the possibility that he'll show up at your house drunk at 3am with a gun thinking "that kid sucker punched me, i'm going to teach him a lesson"

Either way, I don't know the whole story, the problem was resolved, thats the most important thing, but i'm just suggesting to the TS that when a situation requires you to react immediately you need to do so off of instinct, and when a situation allows you time to think, take advantage of that time.

thanks for the responses fellas, i can see everyones point of view... just an update tho, i knocked him into rehab he's been there 4 weeks now..
