Fighting now a days is nothing like it was back in our day.
I’d be very hesitant to throw any punches, not just from fear of injury or possible lawsuits/jail time but from my experience nobody fights fair anymore and almost always weapons get thrown into the mix which results in more dire consequence.
This exact scenario happened to a buddy of mine where he stepped up to defend his wife from comments at a bar/restaurant and after throwing the first punch he was jumped from behind and stabbed multiple times.
Almost lost his ability to walk.
Just stupid all around.
So I’m firmly in the walk away category, though my inside voice definitely tells me FAFO to defend one’s loved ones.
