The cops being involved is not win/win-both of you will most likely be charged, at least disorderly conduct. Perhaps assault, who knows -depends upon the jurisdiction. If in Vegas, it appears from the happenings of famous people, mercy is not considered to any significant extent.

The idea of ascertaining the first punch is ludicrous unless there are witnesses who will also agree that you had no choice but to respond. Braggadocio is cool on the internet but mostly the "fighters" will fight someone smaller than them but not larger. There are of course exceptions such as Chuck Norris types but they are rare. More than likely, in a big city. if you plan to intimidate and fight the "little guy' be prepared for the knife/gun.

For what it may be worth- the last time I threatened someone I never went back. At least it was a long time. Since they chased him out of the joint I wouldn't sweat it personally. And the apology suggested would probably work if you did see him.

Eh, maybe I'm just too weak for this planet, but I've never been in a fight and don't care to. I'm too pretty. Also, what good can ever come of it? I prefer instead to remove myself from the situation, enjoy happy things instead. Stress and anger, ugh.

Anyway, I've been threatened in a cardroom plenty of times. I've had knives drawn on me a couple of times, I've been grabbed and pushed. One person in particular repeatedly indicates he wants me to choke to death on my own tongue. Good times.

One time in AC, it was real late at night and I was leaving the Trump Taj out onto the Boardwalk, a scantly dressed female told me she was going to give it to me real good. I was scared s***less.

Only a child could ask such a question. The paradigm of challenge, laugh, mock is a prime mover in murder in certain neighborhoods.

Spending time in jail because the cops don't want to sort out stories is never a win. What is it with you guys and your macho BS? Geez, elevate your life game a bit.

In my experience, people who are going to do something, just do it. They don't threaten to do it. If you want to alter where you play based on that incident, that's your call. Personally, I don't let punks dictate where I play.

I've never been threatened but I've done some threatening when it was deserved.

[/ QUOTE ]and this is why it should be legal. threatening people that is. in almost every case at the casino it is justified. should be a law making it mandatory
