Suspect collared for Hell's Kitchen punch

Yes if a shot lands just right it can happen. Years ago a boxer went down to the mat, dead before he hit it. I remember his last name was Duc. Jo Li Duc I think was his full name. The soccer ref was hit by someone who had at least a little athleticism. Duc was hit by another boxer. In both these cases it was someone landing a solid shot with some snot behind it.

However, the punch this guy threw in NY looked like a pretty weak swing and a clumsy one at that. You can see he got the guy pretty much on the nose and maybe caught the top lip too. If the guy who got hit whacked his head and wound up in critical condition from that fall then he would have ended up in ICU as well if he'd just tripped and went elbows over asshole!

I think LK's point is just that. People these days seem like they are more fragile. When I was a kid there were folks who fell out of trees and all they ended up with was a mild concussion. Not just kids but adults too. I know I took some pretty good spills and walked away just sore and embarrassed. Hell, I took WAY bigger punches than that one and got up and proceeded to pound the holy fuck out of the other guy.

The point here is this. Is this the result of over-protection of our kids? "OMG Billy, you can't go ride your bicycle without your knee, shoulder, elbow and shin pads and your helmet! What if you fall?"

Well, without all that crap Billy might get some cuts and scrapes, get scabs and scars and TOUGHEN THE FUCK UP some!!!!!!!!!

Might this be the case with the NY guy smacking his head and winding up pretty fucked up? Clearly he didn't hit a curb in which case I could see why.

Now as to the asshat who took the swing, yet another fucknut with an I don't give two shits about anyone but myself attitude. On both parts though, an argument about stepping OVER a dog? Firstly the fucknut shouldn't have stepped over and secondly it really wasn't anything to get into an argument over. A good old "Fuck you dickhead" should have sufficed.

Asshat pulling all that shit with the cops shows he's some kind of witless jackshit and the fact that the neighbors seem to think he's strange support that. Make him pay the guy's hospital bills and if he can't then toss him in some dark, damp corner of the jail. Problem solved!
