Go to jail, spend a night. Maybe a court appearance?
Tonight I almost got into a scuffle w/ an @$$hole and a trainer @ the gym.
Man, theres a couple times in life, some punks just need to be cracked in the jaw!!!
I’m curious what the consequences are after?
How can it screw you over? It’s not a felony, so it cant realy mess up your employment record.
So what, you spend a night in jail, maybe a fine and or court appearance, maybe some com. service. No big deal!
You’re an idiot. Was this meant to sound tough? You’ve taken the time to think about it and post it, and it still seems like a logical solution.
1.) It could easily, EASILY, escalate to felony status.
2.) You could get your ass handed to you.
I guess if getting smacked down, getting arrested and having a record–you do know that people go to jail for crimes that aren’t felonies, right. I suppose you have plenty of money for the lawyer the court costs and possible restitution if you do manage to get a punch in and hurt someone.
Obviously you have no reason to be proud of your character or what people think of you or your family if none of this even remotely pauses you to think that there may be some ramifications for such an action.
Please do us all a favor and throw that first punch, I mean, the guy was probably doing curls in the squat rack right?
Being a former “jailbird” myself…I have never been to jail for fighting, just b/c I got MY ass kicked (dom. violence), a b/s TPO that was never even VALID in the first place, and b/c I tried to get my stuff out of my house.
Yeah, it makes me wanna cry when I think about how much damn money and time I’ve had to spend to get this mess (and my now record) cleared up. I’ve even lost out on some really good job prospects b/c of this shit. Jail is a piece of cake, specially the women’s units.
90% of the chicks I was in jail with were in there b/c their old men beat the everluvin f*ck outta them, and their dudes WERE NOT EVEN REQUIRED TO GO SPEND ANY TIME IN JAIL! And our wonderful govt. wonders why women crack and kill their abusive bf’s/husbands.

The reason that women kill their men is because women are psycho. It has been proven that given the opportunity, women are much more likely to kill, and feel a lot less remorse about doing so.
It is taught time and time again in criminal justice classes that when an officer is called to a domestic violence call, that to fear the women more then the men. This is also because men most of the time have some muscle to hurt people with, but most women really don’t. Because of this fact, many women resort to the use of lethal violence, because it doesn’t take very much skill or strength to pull the trigger on a .38 special.
If you don’t beleive me about women being violent, think about it this way, if two women get in a fight, they are enemies permanently or at least for a long time. If two men get in a fight, they are likely to be drinking together the next night.
Also, normally in domestic violence situations, its the men that go to jail. This is because of the way people are socialized as kids, most of us are taught that women are nice and men are mean. Because of this, responding officers often assume the man is at fault, and feel the need to take him to jail.
In Kansas, unless it is a very minor situation, when their is a domestic violence call, the officers are required to take someone to jail, even if the victim doesn’t want to press charges. Then, normally, it becomes a matter for the county or disctrict attorney to look into, and they press charges.
Domestic violence charges are actually very serious, they prevent you from owning a handgun, and possibly a long gun too, (little fuzzy on that) and will prevent you from working in law enforcement or corrections. Domestic violence call outs are some of the most dangerous call-outs officers have, and most generally, officers absolutely hate domestic violence calls.
Unless one party is completely the victim, some officers take both parties to jail. This is a good idea, and sometimes wakes the people up. It at least allows them to sober up, because often alcohol is involved. A little bit of anger is normal in a relatioship, but people shouldn’t hit one another. It is sad that children have to witness their parent drunk and hitting each other.
As far as jails being easier on women, that may be true. However, Women are much harder to control in prison. If you tell a man he has to lock up, (go to his cell) he most often times will. Women seem to need justification to do this.
Also, when women are locked up together, they end up “cycling” together, which can make that time of the month HELL on the correctional officers. Also, interestingly enough, prison sex in male populations is 25%, but in female populations is 50%.
Female inmates are also likely to have more extreme levels of inmate on inmate violence. They don’t fight as much, but they fight harder when they do, and at least in kansas, you can almost bet that 75% of the female inmates have a shenk. (homemade knife)
All that being said, female sherriff’s deputies are about the hottest thing on earth.
