    Damn that sucks. Pretty sure he didn’t want to kill the dude. Big guys need to keep pepper spray on them. Guy I knew threw a retaliatory punch outside a club. Recipient’s head hit the curb. Dead as latin. Now that guy’s in prison. Not fuckin worth it.

      Yeah, a long time ago, when I was working security at a very large hospital, we had a person kicked out of the ER for abusing staff. In the drive way to the ER he started refusing to leave. We radio the local police patrol. Three cops show up. After about 45 minutes of trying to talk him into leaving, he pulled out a knife and lunged. So I punched him in the side of his head, towards the back. He dropped dead. He had an aneurysm and that blow ruptured it, instantly killing him.

      Luckily for me, the person he was trying to stab was a cop, so there was no question of criminal charges.

      I’m a really big dude and that shit terrifies me. Some people like to target fat folks thinking they’re out of shape. And I am very, very out of shape.

      But the fact that I can get out of bed and walk up stairs effortlessly means I’m incredibly, incredibly strong. What most people lift when maxing out is what I lift every time I move.

      If I throw a punch in anger, I could easily kill.

        Calm down bro, being overweight is not turning you into Mike Tyson immediately. You know, an unskilled fist punch to the face of another man can also result in hurting or partly breaking your own hand.

          Iunno bruh it sounds like he studied the blade :D But fr if he’s big enough to knock you down, its the pavement - not the punch that kills you.

          Absolutely. But a broken hand can still have force behind it.

          And not that it matters, but I do know how to throw a punch. And there’s a big gap between “how hard someone expects a punch to be” and "world champion boxer heavyweight boxer. "

          Mike Tyson could definitely kill with a punch.

          Eh… Mike Tyson isn’t famous because his first punch hits hard, it’s because he can do more than a few swings and knows what he is doing.

          The point the other commenter was making is that there is more force behind a punch from a large person vs a tiny person. Not that they have some magical fighting ability because they are overweight.

      I took a latin class in high school, so he’s probably deader than that
