Mike Windu Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Ok, this really made me mad today: My friend Tim, African American, he and some chinese guy were getting mad and calling names, its normal for us to do that its just letting off steam no conflicts, but then the chinese guy drops the n-bomb!. So Tim starts beating the guy up, and the chinese guy whips out a pair of scissors and stabs Tim in the back of the head! I was like HOLY CRAP WTF:mad: ?!? Anyway, our teacher told us 4th period (it happened around 1st period) that Tim was alright and that the scissors didn't penetrate very deep so he won't need stitches... as for the chinese guy... he's expelled... and some of tim's friends want some revenge... they wanna find out where he lives and... well you know the rest... All is not well at Houston High School Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Well, then perhaps Tim shouldn't have gotten in a name calling match in the first place. After all, they were "letting off steam" and then Tim decided to kick this guy's ass. If he got stabbed, it was his own fault. The entire point of the exercise, as you put it, was for it to stay nonphysical. Calling someone a nigger has about the same ultimate effect as calling someone a poopoo head. They're words. Tim decided to make it physical. You won't see me crying any crocodile tears for Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 What Datheus said. You throw punches, you deal with the consequences however, I do hope he is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Yea, a friend of mine got stabbed. Cept he got messed up pretty bad(it caught part of his eye, but he recovered). The guy who stabbed him got a stomping like no other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 i've had friends who've been stabbed, shot at, hit by bats, hammers, axe handles, pistol whipped, had guns pointed at them over an argument, jumped, and just about everything else. you're buddy started the fight because he threw the first punch. i can tell you right now that if you go after that one guy, that's sad, the reason me and my friends were going to go after the guys who stabbed my friend is cuz he was just walking on the street and they jumped him, your buddy started a fight, there are no rules in fighting. if they're arguing they better be able to take what is given to them, why didn't "tim" just call the guy and chink, needle dick slanty eye or something like that? it's his own fault, i have no sympathy, especially since the situation is against him (by starting the fight) and i've dealt with it personally. if one of my friends starts swinging and gets his ass stabbed i'm gonna be pissed but me and my buddies aren't going to go kill the guy, we're gonna set up ANOTHER fight, where he's for sure going to have no weapons and lose. my friend got stabbed in the throat and BARELY didn't die, the blade scraped his trachea and pushed his main artery. imagine how mad I was when that happened. now stop and actually think about it, you're mad, it's understandable, but that's the way things happen in fights. if you go after that guy, that's one of the dumbest and most childish things to do "tim attacked that guy and got stabbed" read that carefully, TIM ATTACKED HIM, so just let tim and that kid go at it again in a fair fight or give tim a knife, but you're pathetic if you jump that kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Sorry guys, fighting is a stupid behavior that doesn't benefit anyone. If you beat someone up, you're just spreading hate, not defeating it. The bigger thing to do would be walk away. You'd probably be surprised that you would be respected for not being an idiot and risking your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_dog no.3 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I think: The Chinese guy should be punished, however revenge is NOT the way to go about it. Ur friend should be punished too, although not as much as the "chinese guy", becuase it was after all your friend who started using voilence.

BawBag™ Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 In a stereotypical view of the U.S. (no offense intended) it's lucky the other guy wasn't carrying a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Edit:NM< don't want to start a flame war around here. Yeah, be the bigger men. Me and my friends at school have done this on several occasions. The thing is, there is nothing that they can say. Sure, they can talk smack, but they won't do anything. And if they still did, then I would jump him. If I were stabbed though, I can see how he may wan't to KILL that guy though :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Let's not start with the racial things here - I don't want to see this evolve into a horrible argument. Neither of them should be saying anything to eachother. Its obvious that racial slurs hurt people deep inside and there is no need to start "playing" around and trying to push eachothers buttons because you never know when you are going to push the wrong one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 This only happens in America!! I swear! Just kidding Your friend went berserk on him? Well he faced the consequences..though a scissor is way too much, but if he was weaker and you go berserk on him, what the hell was he supposed to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Originally posted by BongoBob (Also to mean no offense) How come a black person gets pissed when he is called a "N Word" by a white or mexican person(or in this case chinese person), yet black people call each other that all the time, and think nothing of it.

I swear, it get's frickin tiring when I hear this EVERY DAY I GO TO SCHOOL. [/rant] ok here's the sad part.............i'm white, and i grew up in an all black town pretty much. i was put through hell through lower grades and once i got in Jr high some black dudes were messin with me so i went off on em. I was 5'4" 120 very athletic build, and i took 3 dudes down took a minute but i did it. after that i could walk up to any person (of African heritage) in my town and say wassa my Nigga and they wouldn't care. I've proven myself, plus it helps that i grew up the same way they did.........DIRT POOR. i'm packed now and i still think i am no better than anyone else no matter what kinda situation they're in.

BongoBob Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I agree that racial slurs don't solve anything, and I did sort of rant, and for the sake of the thread(as well as not make any more enemies here), I will edit and delete that. Mystic spade should edit his part that he quoted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Originally posted by Mike Windu ..So Tim starts beating the guy up.. he began the fight. sorry to tell you that, but i hope your friend will learn from this. calling names is perhabs one thing. but starting a fight another. seriously he should be lucky that the chinese guy didnt pulled a gun. and i think revenge wont make it any better nor is it justifiable since it wasnt the chinese guy who started the fight.. think about.

Crazy_dog no.3 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I don't see what's so offensive about *gasp*the "n" word? The only way it could cause offence is if it is used in a racist context . Example: "What's up my nigger?!" (not racist) As opposed to... (racist) Hey boys lets go outside and kill ourselves some niggers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 honestly if you take the time to look up the n-word. the base definition is some one of low class. which is why some black ppl will even tell you there are blacks and then there are n-ppl. white ppl can be n-ppl too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
