Is there any circumstance okay to hit someone?

[fourandsixpants]

any?

Better to live another day, than being king hit. 

And paints, if you really feel like smashing someone, perhaps speak to someone professional before you get so angry...you could be saving your own life.

[fourandsixpants]

no. I don't feel like hitting anybody. You misunderstand.

[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

OK

My mistake- take it easy then 

[cherry*135]

No, it's not OK, can get a person charged for doing that.

[creative*crisis]

Yes, in self defense if cornered and without the option of flight as retaliation can sometimes prove dangerous.

In defense of someone weaker, for instance to protect your child, you probably have a duty to do whatever is necessary.

I have only ever hit someone once in my life.

My daughter was 16 and working in a local Supermarket.

A man in his late 50's took an unhealthy interest in her.

He was hassling her............following her..........sending her roses wrapped in black paper..........all sorts of creepy stuff.

We went to the Police.............but there was nothing they could do.

We could not find out his name as he paid cash..............did not drive.

Our daughter was terrified to go to work.

One day we went to pick her up from work and she pointed to this man and told me that was him.

Now I knew if her father got out of the car before me there was going to be big trouble.............so I jumped out of the car and ran into the Supermarket behind him................tapped him on the shoulder..........and when he turned around I thumped him................and told him if he thought that was scarey it would be her father next time............and turned around and walked out of the store.

It was all over in a few minutes and I was back in the car before I knew it.

Was I wrong...............of course I was..............and I spent the next few weeks terrified that I was going to be charged..................but nothing.

Ad he never went near our daughter again.

There's a few people on here who would benefit from a slap...lol

I feel for you paints - been there, done that - and eventually got the courage to pack up and leave.
