I lost a brother to a motorbike accident, and then never ever rode mine again. My brother was killed by a drunk driver, and the driver was given just 8 months in prison and then a community corrections order after that.

2 years after he got out of prison I bumped into him at a bar, I had never laid eyes on him in that time and the last time I saw him was at the court sentencing. He tried to put his hand out to shake mine and apologise for what happened - but there was just something about that moment where I felt frozen in time, smelling the alcohol on his breath, watching him try to find words or a gesture that could possibly assauge his guilt ...... and I snapped, I couldn't help it. I take some misplaced macho pride in being a man who can take care of himself in most circumstances (when forced to) - but that night I hit him so hard that I don't think my hand has ever felt the same since.

In a moment of irony the police officer who attended the assault complaint - was also the first officer on the scene after my brother was struck by the drunken asshole (who was then sitting propped up against the wall with a fractured jaw). I ended up being ordered by the court to cover his medical bills, and to heap insult on top of injustice, we are still chasing him for dollar-one on a $170,000 civil suit judgement his widow and child won against him.

Yet here the asshole was, able to pay for shots of tequila - avoiding the settlement he owes - whilst my family rallied around my sister in law and niece and make sure they want for nothing. Was the punch worth it ?

You fucking bet it was.

Sorry for the loss of your bro ... yes.... the punch was well worth it in many ways..

It's fucking crazy that he would have the audacity to extend his hand out with the circumstances.. fuck him.. drunk drivers suck

You certainly live an exciting life. Watch that first step on your front porch. Good luck.

the cab of the tractor looks about 12 feet high. it was easy to see and to avoid, curve or no curve. not the tractor driver's fault.
