Seriously, if someone punched me in the face, they'd better be running for their life because you're going to get a knife to you guts, then a slow and painful decapitation following.

I'm sure you'd do that when it's only you with your puny knife. Who knows if those guys had guns? I sure wouldn't want to stay around to find out. He did the right thing, he didn't let it escalate by retaliating. He did a good job and he should not feel down on himself for doing the right thing. At least you're a live.

Puny? Ha... its about a foot long, forged from steel and is used for everything... mainly for cutting through flesh and bone.

Don't bring a knife to a gun-fight.

Wow, obvious and typical ATOT arm-chair toughness here.

Yeah, cause shooting someone from 30 yards much more manly.

Nothing pretty about getting your abdomen cut open and watching your guts fall out. ;)

1) Shooting somebody at 30 yards is much more difficult than you would think
2) It is the more 'safe' and 'reasonable' thing to do
3) More importantly, I never said anything about shooting somebody as opposed to stabbing. So next time do not be a liar and make crap to support your hair-brained virtual toughness.

Well, that sounds nice and all, but under the circumstances described in the OP it would have been a very stupid move. You don't mess with drunks in a campground when you are the one and only person on your team. The guy was in completely unfamiliar territory, very likely miles from any cops. Any kind of weapon could have easily escalated things to where it was a total beatdown from the locals.

A punch in the face sucks, but notice that is where it ended. No one killed, no one in the hospital, no one in jail.

Just reading this story pisses me off. There are SOOOOOO many people like this Hidalgo character where I live. You get enough liquor in them and anything could set them off. Weird thing is, a large portion of them can't fight that well and end up getting their ass handed to them regularly. All I can think when it happens is WTF do you keep doing that? It's ridiculous and it proves nothing.

OK, read the latest update.

The verdict is: Amber is a flake, and the less socializing you do with her, the better off you will be.
