So I have had an on going problem with this guy who is the president of my fraternitys alum board. Basically, he has been a douche to me since I left school. Anyhow, I go back up to the fraternity house tonight for the first time since homecoming and he asks me wtf I am doing there. I said I came to hang out for a while since I was in town. Then he asks me to leave saying that I shouldnt be there. ( I have no idea why I shouldnt be there for those wondering ) So he gets in my face and I ask him to not do that. So then he shoves me and basically that was all she wrote. I socked him in the jaw with a right cross and he was out cold which was a good thing since everyone pulled me away after I punched him. Bad thing is my hand is really bothering me right now typing this but other than that I feel better about the whole situation. I mean I honestly dont know why we have had this brewing for a while I guess its just a case of two people just not liking each other but hey I dont give a [censored] anymore.

So, you assaulted somebody tonight and decided to post testimony against yourself on the internet?

If the guy shoved him, it sounds like it's self defense. And it would be a battery, definately not an assault [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Nice grin. However this was an assault also.

Yeah thats it Dynasty. I guess when someone shoves you, you just sit there and take it?

well self-defense means that you only use as much force as required to protect yourself. I dunno if you need to punch a guy with enough force to knock him out after he was in your face and pushed you. it would depend a lot on the circumstances, but yeah, by law you could definitely be fked for knocking this guy out. I'm not saying a punch could never be necessitated to protect yourself, but I would say more often than not a punch is not needed to protect yourself.

So I know you are heated...and the cool thing to say is defending yourself and knocking someone out is cool, but the law does not look at things that way. I doubt anything will happen as it was at a frat party, but posting this is not the best thing for you and I migh ask the mods to delete this if you thought anyone would know this was on here.

Also, don't be so quick to jump on those that are a bit older and wiser than yourself...they might just know what they are talking about.

Him shoving a guy pretty much negates that possibility.

what do you mean by this?

b/c he was shoved means that it must be self defense or him being shoved first means that no charges can be brought against him?

I would have to disagree on both of these counts if either are what you are saying. I'm not saying it would be a for sure thing that he would be in trouble, but neither of these things necessarily negates what he did and shelters him.
