Reacher Roid Rage?

[Dave D]

Guy comes at you in front of your kids, pushes you twice, and there is no way of predicting if the guy is going to pull out a gun and shoot because he felt threatened.

So instead of taking a chance and escalating the situation/risking getting shot, or run over...and the kids possibly losing their father...you make the smart decision to step away and go close to your kids and guard them. Instead of leaving them stranded while you let your anger control you.

You also think ahead of the possibility of the guy suing. You avoid a lawsuit and him coming after your Hollywood money.

What if Reacher lost his temper and beat the guy into a coma with brain damage? What if the guy had a heart attack while getting punched? What if Reacher had a heart attack? What if the guy showed up at Reacher's home later in the day with a shotgun for vengeance? Think about the snow shoveling shooting from years ago with the neighbors.

All you commandos on here need to think ahead when it comes to legal consequences with fighting. Yeah, you may feel like the big man on campus after you knock out someone. But how much of a big shot will you feel like when you get sentenced to life in prison for killing someone in a fight gone wrong?

Think about NYC subways. Is it wise to argue and fight with an angry passenger over taking their seat or being too loud? How do you know they won't stab you, set you on fire, or bite your nose and ears off? You don't know what people will do when angry and threatened.

There are many things worth fighting for in this world or risking your life for. But rich old geezers assaulting each other over motorcycle riding is not one of them.

Gene you seem like a level headed individual.

Based on the video I think our actor friend thinks like you. He did not try to attack or hurt his foe, his goal was to neutralize the threat, which he realized he did after the second strike.

Keep up the good work!

U r the biggest fag of all time. please just kill yourself. imagine seriously trying to argue that self defense against an assault is wrong.... holy crap this guy is a retard

Was it reasonable for Reacher to feel like his life could be threatened by the elderly out of shape man? What about his kids' life?

Did the other guy have a knife or gun? How would he have known until it was too late. Why take the risk when his life was not threatened? Only his pride was hurt and threatened.

Was it necessary for him to go hand to hand combat? Reacher left his kids standing wide open and defenseless while he acted like a big shot bumping chests and beating up an old man.

What if the police showed up and decided to arrest both of them? Yeah, whole lotta help Reacher would be to his kids while sitting in a jail cell denied bond.

What if the guy pulled a knife on Reacher while they were tussling and slashed Reacher's throat? Same thing as yelling at someone on the subway for playing their boom box too loud. Next thing you know the guy stabs you or sets you on fire. Think of the video where the guy stood up for someone on the bus and he ends up getting stabbed and killed.

Think about repercussions Jess. Life is not like the movies. I'm sure you think that it would be cool to walk around as the real life Equalizer. But there are grim consequences in the real world when you fight someone. You don't know what people will do when pushed enough. Remember the Planet Fitness incident? That gym employee sure felt like a big tough guy until the lady stood up for herself.

If someone comes at you and pushes you who might have a gun it's even more reason to beat the shit out of them instantly.

You have a split second to make a decision.

Lawsuits are the last thing to consider - you end the threat.


Now mind you, I didn't see the video - just going off the assumption this dude approached and pushed him twice.

Tennessee Police: Alan Ritchson Acted in Self Defense, “No Criminal Charges Pursued” After Altercation With Neighbor

“After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued. Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense,” Brentwood Police Captain Steven Pepin tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Pepin added that Ritchson declined to pursue any charges of his own against the neighbor who admitted that he instigated the physical contact. “Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges. With the agreement of the District Attorney’s Office, the case is now closed, and no further action will be taken,” per Pepin.

You sound like a huge homo.

Maybe GET BIG isn't the message board for you

Is GigantorX the model of the dildo stretching your cave-like man kunt — faggit?!?

[Sandrock]

If Reacher was a real man he would have hit the running Awesome Bomb on the other guy onto his front lawn.

Who is 2nd and 3rd?

[beakdoctor]

It looked more like he was giving his neighbor a "reacher" round than a beat down.

[Taffin]

Ritchon's legs look thin in the rage video.

This is the important point people are missing - thank you

He should have some kind of skill. I would be crying if the world thought I was a badass and that was the extent of fighting and motorcycle riding skills. But hey that’s just me, I await the he’s rich and famous commments. I’d rather be touch and know how to ride than be rich but that’s just me.

I absolutely get your point, but just imagine how funny it would have looked if he did pull out the full legit Reacher headbutt/elbow slam/neck snap and leave the guy actually dead 

Who is 2nd and 3rd?

Not known - but I fear my name appears somewhere on that list 

[Rambone]

Are there any HOA commandos on this board?

You have to be able to talk through your issues Grape.

If someone pulls a gun you should calmly ask if they think they making the right decision.  Violence is never the answer, unless you’re the star of an Amazon prime show and it’s pretend.

You have to be able to decide if something is worth risking your life for.

Reacher had no way of knowing if this guy had a concealed knife or gun. Reacher  should have quickly analyzed the situation and decided if it was worth risking the possibility of being stabbed or shot in front of his family. Reacher's life wasn't in danger at any time. The old man was angry and a hot head. No one was hurt. Only Reacher's ego was hurt.

What if Reacher had just stepped back away from the old guy and guarded his kids? He could have diffused it all. Instead, he left his kids wide open for an attack. What if the guy began shooting after Reacher started wailing on him?

What if the guy had a heart attack after getting punched? Would the police review the footage and decide the level of force Reacher brought was equal to the original perceived threat? NOPE. Pretty sure Reacher would be charged with murder and goodbye Hollywood Hills.

Each time someone lets their anger and emotions in the moment control them, there's always the risk of a worst case scenario.

Look at the incidents of people on the subway telling someone to be quiet, and then getting stabbed, shot, or set on fire. Or the PA neighbors arguing about snow shoveling and getting shot. Or the woman who yelled at the man to stop playing his music son loud at night and he burned her house down as she slept.

Bro I’m on your side.

Your points are valid. if the guy had a gun or knife Reacher is dead. But in the moment he did what he felt was appropriate. He shoved a guy down and his strikes were more attempts to keep the guy down than the were to pummel.
