I just spent 30 minutes in handcuffs at Walmart with my family waiting on me. I'm even shaking as I write this. Long story but as we were standing in a massive line to check out, two guys behind us decided to get into a cussing fight (f-bombs mostly) and my kids are standing right there as well as many other young ears. So I turn around and ask them politely to quit. They agree but a few seconds after I turn around they start chattering and then cussing at me. So my wife gets pissed and turns around and asks them to stop. They decide to call her a bitch and as the adrenaline is rushing through me and I start to turn, pop! He punches me just behind the ear. Guess he was going for the back of my head. As I tried to regained my senses I have no idea how or where I hit him but I swung with all I had and landed solid. Eyes still blurry the other guy swings at me but misses and I charge him full speed, and take him straight to the ground. No hesitation I started giving him elbows to the face, he covered then some guys helped out and held him down while I basically regained consciousness. My ears were ringing and everyone was going in slow motion. Effed up feeling.
Apparently I knocked the first guy out with the punch and the second guy was a bloody mess. 30 min interrogation and about 20 other witnesses corroborating the self defense and I guess security camera footage and I was released with no charges and was told they would not be able to press charges on me since it was self defense and I was hit first. The cop said his report would show I was protecting my family and others, idk all I could think about was beat the shit outta them.
Not necessarily proud that happened in front of my kids, but I didn't know what to do. Fight or flight took over and fight it was. I'm kinda glad I had left my gun in the truck. My son keeps saying "dad that guy went stiff" which is funny, my daughters won't stop crying and aren't really talking right now. Don't know what that's about, wife thinks they are still scared I'm hurt, plus they saw the cops cuff me. When they checked my id an saw my CHL i was released pretty quick. The other two went to jail. Anywho. Have I said how much I hate Walmart.
