I have started 3 fights, and defended myself in 2-3, depending on how you look at it.
The most bullshit one is when I was on my way to a bar to see a friend's band play, and about a block from the bar, a frat-boy type grabbed me and squeezed my breast, out of nowhere, on the street. He then smirked at me, and I fucking punched him. It was a lucky punch that hit him in the throat, and he went down. As luck would have it, a cop turned the corner just in time to see me punch him. It was good, because the asshole had 3 friends with him who were about ready to kill me, but bad, because the cop (a woman!) immediately handcuffed me.
I did not end up getting arrested, but I was shocked at how aggressive this female cop was with me after I told her what happened. She also refused to breathalyze me after accusing me of public intoxication (I was 100% sober). A few other cops arrived, heard me demanding to be breathalyzed and accusing the tit-grabber of, well, tit-grabbing, and let me go.
STILL pisses me off, and it was 10 years ago.
