Have you ever been violent?

I've never started a fight and I've never wanted to be in one, but like some of the story's here they can be unavoidable.
Me and three of my friends were coming back from the pub after a couple of pints after a nice evening and whilst walking home a group of about 6 chavs asked if we had any cigarettes. None of us smoke so they went to ask an old man on the other side of the road, i guess he said no because I remember hearing one of them say "man, someone's gonna get murked tonight".
A few mins later when we were half way down our road one of my friends got smacked in the back of the head, we hadn't heard them coming. 3 of there group attacked, and they went for one of my group each leaving me free, friend A got his face and ribs battered a fair bit. Friend b who is a friendly giant only got punched once then pushed the guy into the side of a car with all his weight. Friend c ran away. I got the guy who was after friend c. Jumped on his back in the most controlled sort of rage. Intent on protecting my friends yet calm and accurate. (I'm not a violent person, lucky as I think that would make a bad combo!). I remember quite clearly forcing his head down so he lost balance with both our combined weight, i had his hands trapped so he fell face first on the pavement, which acted as a cheese grater of sorts. I left him and with friend b chased off the other two and called the police. They caught the guys but unfortunately" bleeding heavily from the face " does not constitute identification. The copper was very sympathetic but advised we didn't follow it any further as they came off significantly worse than us
I'm pretty sure the guy would have needed stitches, and it'll defiantly scar.

Committing violent acts causes children to play video games
I knew the media had it backwards!
My whole life I was told that violence was not that answer. Consequently when my family moved around a lot and I was the "new kid" continually, I caught my fair share of flak, but was always told to hold back.
Only used violence twice in my "younger" years and wish that I had been violent more often, as it's the only thing some scum seem to understand.
In my adult life (18-22), I've laid into a few would be muggers, and I got barred for giving a hiding to someone that was trying to touch up my then girlfriend.
The only thing that holds me back really, is that I don't want to get a criminal record as it seems to impinge on your life a lot.

I abhor violence, yet I've resorted to it on more than a few occasions, though not for many years now, and the last instances of it were in self defence.
If anyone posts that they haven't ever been violent, they're lying.
Violence is as much a part of humanity as anything else, there are just varying degrees of severity and control.

I attacked one of the bullies in primary when I was 10, as he kept trolling us while we were trying to play foursquares (game we used to play).
3 of his mates joined in, so I was red rage beating and getting beaten by 4 kids.
A teacher eventually broke it up, and bizarrely I had hardly any damage. Guess 10 year olds can't really dish it out.
Other than that, just the time I clocked a guy for punching my brother when I was 17, who in turn pulled out a gun!! Thankfully no one was shot.

only thing, really? It's not big and it's not clever.
some people like it some dont
if you are a born fighter youll get into scrapes as youll just have to do it.
one of my friends since younger age would fight anyone . bigger stronger whatever doesnt matter . it never works out good though in the end though if you keep at it. he ended up doing long stint in prision for killing someone .
one of my other friends was killed at twenty in a small fight
focus on women with big boobs lot less trouble
The first post on then consequences. All too often lately i hear of people in comas or being irreparably damaged in fights in my local town. Granted there's always gonna be trouble but it definitely seems to have gotten worse since certain types moved to the area !
Only a couple of times - both times they stopped after the first punch left them on the floor (I'd walk off, but make sure they don't come from behind).
Never understood the type to beat people who are down.
I had a rule when I was younger, when out at night alone I wore my black hoody & base-ball cap (with hood up) - walking around with hands visible (walking around with hands in pockets is a sure way to get smack in the back of the head in some parts of the UK at night) - nobody started anything (but loads of people avoided me lol - funny as I'm the least likely person to start a fight I know).

I've had times where I've really wanted to take someone down and frankly the only thing which stopped me was the threat of a criminal record. By the very nature of wanting to punch someone you are not considering it immoral to do so.
Not violent. Been in a few situations were being violent would have probably resulted in a better outcome for myself.
Apparently at playgroup i got pulled to one side for biting another kid that was trying to take my milk
Quite sure that me being older and wiser now if i got into a confrontational situation I would know were the line was drawn and if crossed, would dispatch swift and unmerciful vengeance. I'm a simmering pot of rage.

Of course. I'm far too patient (I'm a stereotypical Taurus through and though) and tend to bottle up things that annoy me, until eventually something big happens that makes me explode.
That 10 seconds of rage is enough to kill 6 gods.

I've been in a few fights, however I'm pretty sure I've never initiated them; I haven't (thankfully) fought for a long time. What does annoy me though, is you can't just have a fight and leave it at that, the other party has to get 10 of his mates to come and 'back him up' after beating him.
Oh, and I do still have a pretty viscous temper at times but I've learnt to control it... which can be very difficult.

If I had a fight when I was <6 years old then I don't remember. From 6+ I never had. Except with my sister, but those don't count.
Same.
A few scuffs in school. One that stuck with me was very unlike me. A chap I knew slapped my drink into me and I punched him in the face before I even knew what I had done. It shocked me because it wasn't like me. I spent the rest of the week picking up litter in the basketball court.
