Very true fella. But when the dust settles and you get a knock at the door and subsequently find yourself stood before a jury of your peers having to explain your actions, its often the case that its what you say, and how and why you say it that decides whether or not you spend some time in the big-house.

Even simpler rules apply and always have applied to street fighting. Don't get caught. Period!!!!! You have about 1-3 min worth of fighting before some calls 50 which give you 1-5 mins to get the fuck out of dodge. There is however an exception. The middle of a golf course after hours I have heard is a decent place to fight and not get caught, dont know if its true or not;)

Then depending on the state he may be able to use deadly force on you.

It's ultimately your responsibility to not fuck the guy up no matter how bad he pissed u off or if he started it. One you mount a guy you know his threat level severely diminishes. Once that happens your right to force also diminishes or even goes away. In short control him break his spirit let him go, or be willing to face consequences. If your jits skills are good enough you usually have the power to control a fight (if its on the ground) so like uncle Ben said "with great power comes great responsibility."

It's a sad world we live in when two dudes can slug it out in a bar parking lot with going to jail....<---100 percent serious.

I wasn't being serious with the break the face lol....I'm pretty confident in my jitz...So if you are attacked our goal would be to control, or sweep since most pissed people don't think about basing out too much.. But from there idk since any action could land me in jail...Its okay for 5 cops with batons to beat the tar out of a guy who judt crashed his van, and was sent flying 20 ft out the window, and hit the floor seemingly unconcious. But when we defend ourselfs against some jerk we get, "woooaaah man thats not allowed"
