This reminds me of the only trouble I got into while at Junior High, wasn't my fault but these days and with these schools (I doubt LAUSD has gotten much better since I graduated HS with them over ten years ago) with their wierd administrators, my situation could of gone as far as getting me into trouble for physicaly asaulting a teacher (
).
Some small asian kid had some bullying issue with me in junior high, I think he had an inferiority complex. One day in class I was feeling less tephlon than usual and turned it around on him and embarased him. So after class he starts picking a fight in the hallway. The size difference between the two of us was more signifigant than the scrapy kid and Casey in the video here, it was hysterical to me at the time that he was even seriously trying to fight me, but this asian kid was a smart-arse with an inferiority complex and who was confident that kung-foo and stupidity would make up for the 100-pound difference, so at first I openly laughed at the asian kid and just started walking away. Well it turns out he really wanted to fight, so he decided to run up and jump on my back, and sock me in the back of my neck, then imediatley jump off and back out of reach of me (mind you he was smaller and a scrapy asian, so he was trying to jump on my back and get high enough to sock me in the back of my head with his very soft hands/fists, so it was more like a hard slap, lol). First time he did it I was surprised, I didn't think he had the cahones, and now we had everyone in the walkspace's attention (so the classic "oooh" and cat calls of "fight, fight"). I turned half-way around to look at him, still with my laughy smirk on my face, and let out another laugh before shaking my head at him and turning my back to him to try and walk away again. The little determined asian scamp did it a second time, exactly like the first, and now I'm thinking I'm gonna have to fight this guy and will have to kick his arse to teach him a lesson - effort he wasn't worth and something that I didn't want to do but was willing if pushed.
I turn half-way around again, this time with my smirk gone to be as blunt and direct as I can be with him, "knock it off. last chance, I don't want to fight you". He didn't reply, looked like he had seriously taken a thought about what I said this time and was untensing some, so I took the oportunity to try and walk away from him again. Mind you, this entire time the crowd is quickly growing and getting louder, somehow not drawing any teacher or administrator's attention. The second I do, I hear his foot steps start, I wait a second, turn around quickly and catch him mid-leap in the air twords my back by his throat with my one hand, let him hang there for two seconds savoring that "oh crap" moment and look on his face, then I just let one solid underpunch from my weaker right-arm land him square in the chest, the force launching him and his neck out of my left hand and throwing him back 4-5 feet into a nearby large tree trunk, knocking the wind out of him and he slides on his back down the trunk and onto his arse. I took one quick step forward intending to kick him anmd then pin him as he was now sitting up at the base of the tree, but I noticed he was quite dazed already, starting to tear, and was fighting ot reagin his lost breath - so I knew it was already over, laxxed off in my rush to get to him, and was just casualy aproaching him, savoring my easy and fast victory, and about to offer him my hand to get him up when Miss Smith finally popped out of her classroom, I guess in time to see me launch the asian into the tree.
She doesn't know what happened and is assuming the worse, so she grabs my extending arm and tries to throw me to the ground to gain control of the situation (she was this young petite-skinny african-american woman, probabley ~ my weight and not a foot taller than me in junior high). Well, lets just say physics and that I was firmly grounded and expecting to have to lift up a incompasitated asian worked heavily against her, we ended up doing a twirl together before I stabalized and caught her half-way to falling to the ground. In that moment I think she realized I was in control and relatively calm given the situation. I got her back firmly planted on her feet, she tried to get the crying asian kid up on his (first time I guess he had ever had the wind knocked out of him), I helped drop him off at the nurse's before continueing my glorified walk of shame to the vice principal's office, and I got the reputation for a couple years as having had "the shortest but coolest, clear-victor fight" at that school, lol.
Per rules and regs I was to be given a short suspention and detentionary punishment as equal in severity as the asian kid since I took part in the confrontation. In actuality, his parents got called in that day and had to pick him up from the nurse's bed and take him home (he was officialy suspended for the rest of that day) while I sat around in audatorium or VP office the rest of the day drinking soda and eating pizza that the VP ordered - my parents never hearing a single word about this to this day, lol (see, the VP was the dean of students, but also the guy incharge of the school audio/visual arangements for anything from education in-class videos to school assemblies and presentations, and I was one of his most reliable and trustworthy (also the strongest) AV boys who he routinely pulled out of class). I told him my story, it added up, and the kids that witnessed it had spread the story everywhere before lunch so that my story checked out (particularly who instigated it and what led to the confrontation). In the end both of us got two weeks worth of mandatory lunch-reccess detention, which he had to serve all of his days but I got a full pardon from half way through my third day (again, because of my VP connection and a school assembly, lol).
