So if your boy decides to beat on a retarded kid for looking at him weird you would go and help him woop that kids ass??? Do you not have any morals??? Assess the situation before you throw dem bow's (Ecko, 2006) I cited and didnt plagarized your quote Ecko.
My friend once got into a fight at this party because there was this girl who was hitting on her boyfriend. She pulled me aside and asked if I'd back her up if she gets into a situation with the girl, so I said no doubt. Lo and behold, the girl somehow trips and falls onto my friend's boyfriend's lap. Immediately, my friend steps up to the girl, even though I didn't really think it was her fault. The moment my friend said anything to the girl, the girl's friend started screaming @ my friend. So before it got physical, I told the other girl to back up... & she started screaming at me, and she shoved me. So I had to deck her in the face... & after that, all the guys got involved. So in an effort to back up my friend, I ended up being the main person in the fight, along with the girl's friend... even though we had no idea what we were fighting about.
Don't know about him, but since my answer was somewhat similar... I'll add this, a person that does that wouldn't be my home boy. Beating on some defenseless person wouldn't be a fight anyways, that's a whopping, which I don't think is what we are talking about.
For the right reason, yes. If it can be solved without fighting, then I think I would convince my friend to let it go.
Its not what we are talking about and I guess my example above is a little extreme, but what if your friend started a fight with someone, a total stranger just because of his race. Would you then back him up??? This guy did nothing to your friend. All he did was walked by him and gave him a little glance. Your homeboy tooked it the wrong way and decided to whoop his ass. The guy then fights back. That is when I will step in to help my boy out, but if the guy is defenseless then I will grab my friend instead and tell him to leave the dude alone. this has happened before and I had to step in and we got him on the floor and started stomping him. We even took his cd player. After that I got on my boy for starting a fight with that Mexican boy. The way Gogo123 put it was that he will back up his friend no matter how stupid the situation is. Well Im sure we all have friends that make the most illogical decisions. And you cant say that your boy wouldnt be your boy if they did pull something stupid. Some times people get stressed out and they dont think straight and take it out on someone else. He wouldnt be my boy if he continues to have these irrational behavior and refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong in any of the incidents. Then that person is just crazy and I cant tolerate that.
Yeah man some of my friends start on kids for no reasons... Well i'm always there telling them to stop and shit like that. Anyway if my friend had a fight then there's a possibility of backing them up as i know they'll probably be the ones starting the fight. however if someone had started on him then i'll be joining in. And hell knows how many punches i throw to my opponent.
I somewhat agree with what you've said. Take for example, what if you arrive at the scene while your homeboy/homegirl was already in action, and you don't know what it is they're fighting about, or who started the fight? Would you still defend them just because they're your friends? I don't think I would. I mean, I care about my friends, but I'm not about to follow them blindly. Unless if it were a life and death situation, then I'd jump in because obviously I wouldn't want them to die, but I can't just join in on a fight without knowledge of what I'm fighting for. That's just not me. I guess it's kind of like fighting in a war. You can't just choose to go because it's your "duty" as a citizen of your country, you go because you feel that the war is being fought for the right reasons, and for the better good of the greater society. So my example is a bit on the larger scale, but still, I don't think it makes that much of a difference. I'm really having trouble figuring out why people are so willing to back up their friend no matter what the circumstances. I mean, when you KNOW that your friend is doing something wrong, shouldn't you stop them from doing it, instead of joining them and then scolding them later on? (this one's to you AVANT) In any extreme cases, what if your opponent ends up in the hospital, or even worse, dead? Scolding your friend after that would be of no use now, would it, since you both will be ending up in jail. For the most part, I think in general, guys and girls have very different approaches when it comes to this sort of stuff. I guess most guys tend to act on impulse whereas most girls like to be a bit more rational. Not to say that all guys are irrational and all girls are rational, but just something that I've observed... -sweat I like to stop and think before I get into any of this sort of stuff. Maybe I'm just too chicken? Speaking of chicken... oh.... nevermind >.<
Because we usually don't know the full circumstances, I rely on my loyalty and trust in my boys. Maybe he was justified in his actions, but I just didn't see it. Maybe there's a much deeper story that I don't know about yet, so I'll just trust his actions for now until I know the whole story. When a fight is just starting, I won't have time to second guess my boy anyways. So I'd choose to be loyal to my friends and not abandon my friend even though I'm not sure about the validity of his actions. If I knew 100% that my friend wasn't justified for his actions, at the very least, I'd still back him up because I don't want my friend to receive a beating. What kind of friend would I be if I just said "too bad, you're on your own for this one"? So I'd rather verbally abuse him about it later for being an idiot -lol. Getting in a fight doesn't usually turn into "extreme cases" (if they were common, they wouldn't be extreme ). You don't need someone to die to know that you've won the battle. Fights don't usually last long as we are much more fragile than we want to believe. We aren't in the movies. As said earlier, I'm not in favor of a whooping, once you've won, you back off, and I have no problems stepping in and enforcing that (by hold back my friend, etc). Of course avoiding physical confrontation is best, but the question was if they got into a fight, not before they got into the fight
Allways helping friends if they get in fight.. Last time we got in fight with a small group but it ok . Usually they won't get in fight for wrong reason..
No question about it, I have to back em up no matter what the reason and deal with reason if need be, later. i mean, we are talking about boiz, right? Back me up I'll back you up, simple as that. Like this one time I was kickin it at home just chillen and this was on a sunday. So my friend came over and he was like yo these niggaz just punked me right and he told me they were ab = asian boiz and we had beef with them for the longest now. So I'm like ok he came to me for help so I gotta do something. I put on a black puffed out jacket, zip it up and hid a machette on my right and went with him out to the church and saw them and I think there was around 5-6 guys and some girls. So in viet I asked them who punked thu. That was his name. And then I pulled out the machette and punked the 2 that were closest to me and no1 said shit so I wasn't about to chop em up cause I aint that crazy ok.. And so they knew wussup and we booked it. Other than that I never had to stick up for a friend cause we were always in it together or if some1 got jumped we'd all go handle it together.
