here's a little advice, if that thing ever happens again, either leave or buy the person a drink.....bar fights are ridiculous and can literally ruin people's lives....a little story for you......A few years back, I was working for a company that took on a new product and in order to satisfy all the legal requirements of the agreement, all the employees had to be bonded....there are several different levels of bonding and this particular agreement required complete FBI background checks. One of our absolute best employees was a 36 year old guy, married, two kids, and just did a wonderful job for us had a mark come up on his background check....guess what it was? A bar fight that had taken place 15 years prior right after his 21st birthday. Based on our agreement, we had to let him go because he had an assault charge in which he pleaded no contest, paid his fine, and thought he went on with his life....15 years later, I had to ask him for his badge and walk him out.....one of the worst days of my professional life.......avoid those things at all costs....they simply aren't worth it and as Jaime says, they are so high school...
