Fighting over who took ‘my bench’? Grow the fuck up!
I find it amazing how people will fight over the stupidest shit. You fight to defend your family or your country.
The same people who’d fight over use of a bench are probably bitching about fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Say that when YOU get phone/car jacked. Especially by people in your own neighbourhood. Next time it’ll be your house keys.

As far as AllNat is concerned, he showed common sense. Anyone who has been in a combat situation knows that your ego is not worth getting killed over. Pick YOUR time and place to engage the enemy. If it is their time and place and you are outgunned, look for the first extraction route. If your ego is telling you to take a beating to be a ‘man’, your just plain stupid and pretty damn unsure of yourself. (Please note that I exclude all internet tough guys from this statement.)

I agree with you that you need to be aware of your surroundings and fight on your terms, but this is far from a ‘combat situation’. Hell, no fist was thrown nor weapon brandished, this doesn’t even rise to scuffle or altercation status. And unlike most combat situations, AllNatural has to go back to this ‘combat zone’ where ‘known unfriendlies’ will continue their ops.
Also, I’m not sure of the gym or the town he’s in or his level of awareness, but if someone walked into or out of most of the gyms I’ve been in with a serious knife or a gun, virtually everyone would know and most likely fix things before they became a problem.

My point exactly. If it was just a town he was visiting then fine. But you gotta go back there. Maybe next time they’ll have the guts to actually fight. By standing tough you may be able to avoid a future confrontation.
laugh at him…get in your car…drive away
I can’t believe how stupid shit like that blows up…people just need to chill out.
Arrghhh…attack of the lemmings!!!

i don’t know, but thats why i have a concealed carry permit.
RULE # 1- never follow somebody to their car if they are close enough to open the door, you never know whats inside. ex: my smith and wesson 1911-a1 “loaded”,non-stock 10 round clip, loaded with law enforcement hollow points. talking it out, or fist fighting it out even, are better ways to solve thing’s.just be warned if you happen to cross somebody like me who’s legit or an off duty cop especially they will not hesitate to shoot you if need be.
in fact, i’ll shoot you just to make use of my permit. luckily nobody has put me in that situation, yet. knock on wood. save all the “internet toughguy” crap if thats crossing your mind, i’m just telling it like it is i promise.

WHAT the hell is a concealed carry permit?jeezus,you americans and your guns,its fukin nuts,but unfortunately it seams we are rapidly heading down the same path.

i’ve had guns pulled on me, i’ve been shot at, i’ve pulled a gun on people(from car to car), i have friends that have been shot, one to death. i’ve been stabbed, jumped, and returned the favor. i’ve been locked up more than once. please don’t talk to me like you know something about real life.
the truth is that 99% of you are just a bunch of middle aged buisness men, who would readily hand over their wallet and their keys and don’t “want any trouble”. you can say whatever you want over the internet, you can lie about everything if it pleases you. i tell you this, i have no reason to lie. do you think that a cop is gonna read this shit, and be able to do something about it?
please, wake the fuck up.thats all i have to say about that.
Dude, who are you directing your posts towards? You are acting like no one else but you has any life experience. Yes, this is the internet, but do you honestly think everyone responding in this thread somehow missed every danger in life growing up?
You’ve had a friend who has been shot? Well, aren’t you all alone on that one. Maybe we can trade war stories at some other time, however, I am betting that not everyone here grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth. The exact same assumptions you are telling people to avoid are the same ones you are making about others.[/quote]
i’m directing my post towards the douchebags who called me on out. if your not one of said douchbags, you need not reply.i didn’t say NOBODY knew what i was talking about, if you look closer it say’s 99%. welcome to the club, i’m sure there has to be a couple of people who have had the same troubles in life. now being a doctor, you either dealt with this shit at a very young age, and learned it was not for you and got away. seeing as medical school is a huge commitment, i can’t see how you would have the time to deal with this and medical school at the same time. i could be wrong, or you could not be a doctor, or you could not be part of the 1% i speak of.
i can picture you know, trying to study while in the projects ducking bullets from the thugs outside.hustling birds to pay for books, tricking bitches to make ends meet, oh and lifting like a mad man to achieve your size. my my thats a busy schedule. if your not in the hood, you don’t get to see this kinda shit often. i have friends who have pulled themselves out of the shit to become very succesful, so it’s not impossible just unlikely. either way, i wasnt talking to you…or was i?

I grew up in south Houston. No projects but it was far from a rich neighborhood. The school my dad was a teacher at was the second home to mostly kids from the projects that were right across the street from it. I had two parents who were, oddly enough given the fact that no one else who lived around me happened to be, educated. They were teachers. I was reading on a third grade level before I started school. That was how my parents were and that alone is why I ended up in school. I’ve had a gun pointed at me for my shoes. Do they even sell Adidas anymore? Either way, I got mine taken that day. The point was, don’t underestimate others because of some stereotype you have of people from certain backgrounds. There are quite a few people who break those roles. They may be middle aged, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t go through possibly even more shit than anything you have experienced. Everyone thinks they have it bad. I personally think you are given what you can handle. But then, I also don’t believe in coincidence.
I certainly wouldnt have gotten an escort. If i thought they were setting me up for a jump i would have picked a spot turned and prepared to rumble. But i wouldnt say anything. If they were gonna fight it would start, if they were trying to scare me, thats not gonna happen.
However, im not with this fighting over a bench thing.
My dayjob is working as an accountant in a Rehab hosp. Daily i see guys and gals recovering from spinal cord injuries and other serious accidents. Several guys that work here in various capacaties are paralyzed because of gunshots.
In todays environment crazy folk w/ kill you for nothing. Id rather walk away than lose everything because of some scumbag.
Sometimes a good run is better than a bad stand.

Please, PLEASE don’t use this guy as your example of an American who enjoys owning guns.
great quote; good work X haha
i used to get picked on in middleschool alot and i was a pussy about it then, always ran away or whatever.
in hindsight the people picking on me probably wouldn’t have faired as well as i thought they would have.
i’d do what most of the people here said and just stand up for yourself, carry yourself with alot of confidence; but don’t get cocky…that might piss more people off then just him.
its a fine line to walk; but if you can do it…your set.
The next time you see him, you should apologize and offer to give him a spot on the bench press…As soon as the bar goes down, Tea-Bag the prick…

Just got back from the gym where this guy apparently had some beef with me. I was using a bench when all of them were full. I went to get different dumbells and this guy sat on it and I said “I’m still here” and he sloowlly gives up the bench like he’s a badass. Basically this was the only confrontation between us but he follows me to my next exercise. I see him behind me looking at me and I say, “You using this one?” He’s basically stalking me. When I’m walking out of the gym he follows me out to my car, so I slow down ready to fight then he calls his friend over so I duck back into the gym and get my friend who works there to walk with me back out (yeah I’m a bitch cuz I don’t want to fight 2 on 1). The point is, do any of you big guys get this type of shit? b/c I honestly feel like he just wanted to fight me (not 1on1 though obviously) because he’s jealous of my size or whatever else. [/quote]
can i fight the OP? cause you sound like a pussy to me. I will fight 2 of you, so clone yourself, but then I might have to get gym security though and get a male escort haha
Another line that applies here is “Your best defense is a good offense”.
I’m often asked how I would deal with this or that situation. My answer is almost always; “I don’t know because I wouldn’t have let myself GET in that situation in the first place”.
The easiest way to get out of problem is usually to avoid getting into it altogether. You need to stop shit immediately, here and now. And that may mean going on the offensive and HARD.
If that happened, the OP could be posting about how two goons backed down from him at the gym because he stood up to them. Not the other way around.

easy with the protest x, i find it all too often that you throw around terms like “stereotype”. the fact is that people from certain backgrounds do have less exposure to this world than others. there is no stereotype there, only fact. all in all, where is this going to go? this is just another endless debate, which is attempting to pull this thread way off course. we have gone from the op being a chickenshit, to me offering advice to the guy that said follow him to his car, to you calling me a bigot(in not so many words).
i know from experience that the majority of people who said,“i would have just fought both of them” that they in all likelyhood would have turned tail and run.i’ve seen it happen countless times. the sad thing is that if the op would have just hit the first dickhead, the second guy would have most probably bitched out. how we go from that to x getting his panties all twisted because i lumped him with HIS social class instead of knowing what a unique man he is amazes me.next all i have to do is add an accidental “you people” and the shit will hit the fan. 3…2…1…
