What a thread.
I read all sorts of responses from blast him now, conspire with your friends and use extortion on him, beat him silly, talk it out, and so on. My proposal would have been, if he comes home drunk and obnoxious and wants a fight, give it to him, credibility of drunks is pretty low, but make sure someone sees him attack you first. That's about it, then clean the floor with him. We all get a little obnoxious once in a while and a good whooping usually deflates egos just enough to get them back on an even keel.
I know lots of obnoxious liberals, and I am occasionally one myself, but violence, that's different. However, once in a while, you just have to sit and listen to the person get this crap off their chest. Occasionally, especially for the college aged folks per my recollection as one, a big long winded, drunk, cussing, arm waving, fingerpointing, mud slinging rant is usually how it comes out.
I have a friend that gets himself so wound up, (sober and not) that if you did not know the guy, you'd probably think he was trying to pick a fight with me. He gets all redfaced and such talking about George Bush and his chronies that I start reviewing the CPR routine in my head just as a refresher. 5 beats, breath, repeat. Or is it seven, is he done yet, I think it's five, no seven..... damn, he's still going.
Really, was it all that bad? I'm guessing you're both college age and I know this type of stuff happens nearly everyday somewhere in college land around the world.
I had a crappy roommate in college, he broke my cordless phone, then I destroyed his pop machine to show him how it felt. Wimp called the cops on me. I should have called the cops about the phone, petty, you bet, but it would have put me in the position of power, instead, it was him. And he was an ex-heroine addict that one of our former roommates found as a replacement while the rest of us were on xmas break. Boy did we thank that a**hole for that. I paid for the machine and wrote it off as experience. It was irrepairable with no salvage value, just like my phone. It felt good, but cost me a whole lot in terms of money for my budget at that stage of life as a broke college student.
The situation is a bear when you're in it, but seems silly when it's all said and done. Concentrate on the "all said and done silly outcome" from now on at the start and the end will come about much faster in the future.
Peace out man, shoot targets, not people.
