I work a 4 day rotation at the hospital. Last night was my last night for 4 nights, plus I worked a holiday Monday so I get a holiday added on so I was really off for 5 days. I decided I'd pack my four wheeler and truck up and head down to my cousins in Georgia for a few nights and maybe we could do some camping or trail riding or something.
So I get down there and there's this douche bag standing out on my cousins porch talking about how my cousins dog has been getting lose and chasing his farm animals. I got out of the truck and walked on the porch and the drunk guy immediately starts bashing my truck for being a Chevy and I pretty much ignore him. After that, he starts talking crap about Marines. I served 3 years in the Marines and he starts talking about how he was in the Army and the Army is so much better than the Marines. I told him we are all on the same team and our jobs are to watch each others back. I said no branch of the military is better than any other one, we all have the same objective - to serve and protect. I was in combat while in Afghanistan and I am damn proud of what I did overseas for my country so I started getting a little pissed off.
Anyway I walk over to the truck and start unloading my four wheeler and he then starts on the four wheeler. He sees me pulling on the straps and tells me that I am a steroid freak. I told the guy he was starting to get on my nerves he needed to go home. I volunteered to take him home and then he started yelling at me saying I was suggesting he couldn't afford a vehicle. I then grabbed his shirt and told him if he didn't back off I was going to kick his ---.
My wife gets out of the truck and then he starts on her and the sexual things he would do to her. I don't like fighting people at all. I train boxing and grappling and spend a lot of time weightlifting because I was a victim of bullying when I was in school (I was always short and skinny and had braces). I always told myself I'd never stoop to that level just because I am now trained in so many different things. Well anyway I hit the guy and he hit the ground and starts talking about how he's going to call the police and I go to walk off, he jumps on my back and toss him to the ground and put him in a arm bar. The guy starts screaming so I let him and tell him to go home. My cousin then tells me the guy is a prick that likes to start trouble with people.
I kind of feel bad because I don't like the idea of thinking I am bullying someone just because I'm bigger and stronger and do more training. Do you think I was out of line by turning to violence or do you think I should have just got in the truck and walked away? I'm going to head over to the guys house tomorrow and apologize. I still feel bad. How would you have handled it?
