Drunks still need top take responsibility for their behavior. Sometimes it is difficult.
Too bad the chances of a lesson being learned are very low.
stay safe.

This gentleman in the video that knocked out the fool was just doing what should become far more common- forcing idiots to own up for their retarded actions. Unfortunately, we as a society have become so intolerant of the concept of personal responsibility
A few months ago a friend of mine posted pictures of a minor riot after a sports game at her college. I posted that "Some firehoses and teargas would solve the problem right quick". She retorted "But they are just a bunch of drunk kids!" and other things...
BULLSHIT.
Welcome to adulthood. You own your actions. Being drunk does not excuse it. Being young yet still (supposedly) an adult does not excuse it.
Once again, I reiterate that one of the major problems with society is that we do not like the concept of personal responsibility. It's always "someone else's fault" or there is always an excuse.
If you decide to play stupid games, you deserve to win stupid prizes. Call a woman a c*** and try to assault her husband and you get punched out. Participate in a riot, damaging property and hurting people, you get gassed and pepper sprayed and hopefully jail. Rob a bank, go to jail. Assault someone on the street and get shot. Do heroin and OD. All actions that YOU chose to participate in, all consequences you brought down on yourself.
It's time we as a society stop excusing people for their behavior, especially when we excuse it due to them being under the influence and/or due to "young age". It's time we start making people own up for their idiocy, be it large or small.
One of the big things that I love about APS is their is no dodging of personal responsibility here. Except for when it's Fistful's fault. Seriously though, while we may disagree on many things (chili, cornbread, etc) everyone here actually acts like an adult (even if they have the gutterbound brain of a 15 y.o.)
