I went out to play pool last night with my friends. A bar room brawl broke out and I tried to stop it. Some how I am the only one who got injured. The guy causing the fight picked up a pool ball (from my game and I was winning at the time, dammit!) and smashed me in the head. I ended up in the emergency room for stitches. At some point the police were called, showed up, and arrested the problematic guy. I was already at the hospital by then. They brought him to the hospital for me to identify. Yep, that was him. OK, so he is on parole and with this assault violated that parole. Now he goes to prison for 3 plus years. I don't know how I feel about all of this. I have never been in a fight, but I am always the first to try and break up a fight. Not smart I know. Life is too short to fight in my mind and today my head, bloody and stitched, still agrees. Am I a fool?
