- No question about it. Words are one thing, but when you escalate
- a verbal altercation to the level of physical violence, the law
- says you are now the bad guy. And the ensuing criminal action
- is just foreplay. After he sues you, your employer, your MA
- instructor, and anyone else who has assets and any arguably
- relevant connection to you, you'll wish it was just the cops you
- had to deal with. Just apologize to the guy and then piss in his
- soup.
