well... people seem to make a big deal out of that comment I made.

I merely said, since I was being criticised by all these people saying "you dont know what a real fight is like", that if I was genuinely fighting to defend my life or safety then anything would be permissable to me (while it would not, certainly, be sporting.) In an honourable fight, I wouldnt hit a man who was down. If someone attacked me and was gonna rape my girl (just say as an example) I would do whatever it took to remove that threat absolutely... is that clearer? If it meant wrapping my keys round my fist and busting him, then breaking both his arms when he went down, or an ankle, or whatever, I would do that. If someone broke into my house and had a knife, I would use the 3 foot length of copper pipe I have by my bed in the appropriate manner. That isnt the same thing as I go out Friday night fighting in the streets with a length of copper pipe.

Ive never hit someone with my keys in my life, I havent been in a fight since I left college and I dont plan to be in one. If someone tried to mug me I might. use whatever I had available to deal with the situation If I was fighting over a matter of honour, I would fight like an English gentleman, and would not strike my opponent when they were down. Like I said, I dont know what goes in other places, I was raised to believe that English boys fight with fists.

And anyway, once you bust someone with a set of house keys wrapped round your fist, I dont think you need worry about what they are gonna do next, thats kind of the point. It is not a tactic to be used in a scuffle outside a kebab house over some shit, its something you pull out when anything goes - and when what comes later doesnt really matter because you are acting with maximum aggression to deal with a serious threat.
