Had to happen...eventually...

Yeah...the issue about getting confrontational with an old man is very touchy for me.

At the beginning of this year, long story short, this 65 y.o. man was barking at my father (who's 75) in a condescending manner. I'm Asian, and this 65 y.o. man is the same ethnicity as me. It's my culture and an unwritten rule, to be deferential to your elders. In this case it was the 65 y.o. man towards my 75 y.o. dad. My father did NOTHING to provoke this matter. So...the 65 y.o. man wouldn't tone down his voice. I walked up to him, spoke in my ethnic language, and yelled "Watch your manners!!" And the 65 y.o. man looked at me in disbelief, like "What are you going to do about it?!" look on his face. Now, mind you, this 65 y.o. man was not feeble, didn't walk with a cane, etc. He carried himself with a lot of alacrity...So I slapped him hard across his face. He charged at me...I punched him in the mouth, and laid him out. His friend calls the cops, and LAPD shows up...That's it. The cops were trying to take me away. But the ******* didn't press charges (which shows that he knew he was in the wrong).

So yeah. I'm not judgmental towards the OP for the situation.
