Luke got in a fist fight today after work (a bunch of them will usually hang at a pub or something on Friday arvos). Fucking idiot. I mentioned several weeks ago that Luke was wanting to come out of the closet to his work mates who have thought he was straight since forever. Well, he did that, about two weeks ago at a similar Friday after-work shindig. This afternoon one of the guys made a homophobic comment in reference to Luke to another guy, in clear ear shot, so Luke took it upon himself to confront him right there by pushing him, demanding that he repeat what he'd just said, then punching him several times in the head until he fell over, kicked him while he was down (wearing his work boots with steel caps for fucks sake), pulled him up again and continued to punch the shit out of him. Then FINALLY they pulled Luke off him and he was kicked out and banned from the venue.
One of the other guys brought him home and a few hours later Luke and I went back to pick up his truck. Thankfully it hadn't been trashed because I was worried it would have been, although Luke was like "nah". I mean god am I overreacting here? Luke knocked a bunch of this guy's teeth out and he just shrugs it off!! I had a heart attack when someone else brought him home and Luke had blood on his shirt, I thought he'd been attacked!!!
The guy who drove him home was telling me all about it like it was some awesome piece of entertainment and I'm just standing there chain smoking like fuck in the hopes that he (the driver guy) doesn't realise how much I AM NOT OK WITH THIS. Thankfully he didn't hang around after he finished his little story and I certainly didn't invite him inside. Once he was gone I just GLARED at Luke, like, please tell me that's not true, because according to this guy, the other guy didn't get a single hit in. It wasn't self defense at all. Luke just flat out fucking attacked this guy for no reason other than to assert his masculinity. What a bunch of fucking losers to just watch and cheer while he smashed this guy's face in, too.
Curious to hear what you guys think of this, the males especially. Is this normal? Is this acceptable? Am I being a pansy ass girly boy by being so shocked by this? I hate violence. I mean, ok I know personally I would have major orgasms if Luke did to me what he did to that guy but there is a huge difference between our consensual sadomasochistic sexual play and just plain street violence and I don't approve of the latter one bit.
