'Something like road rage': Man dies after altercation in construction zone in Northeast

I know there are no guns in the article.

But for self defense, it is good to know what you may be facing. Don't let someone hit you before taking action to defend yourself.

Generally not the punch, it's the head bouncing off the concrete that does the damage. Avoid altercations, this was unfortunate but anytime someone might swing on you can't be justification to shoot.

OR a up angle punch to the beak will do it!

 

[Misteramax]

That's too bad. For everyone involved. Well...Just remember the wrong bonk on the head can do this sometimes. This is why refs check fighters.

Two people not being patient and now one has to live with this.

Whatever you do, don't pull your gun until you're dead or you'll wind up in prison for 30 years like ol what's is name..

Didnt this also happen a few years ago, if I recall a pro sports player punched a guy who died instantly?



Its rare but it happens.

I'm too old and already had my face put back together once to allow someone first punch.
Real life isn't a ring and no one has gloves on.

A very well placed, extremely hard hitting punch with a knuckle landing right on the temple could do it but it would be very hard to get the right mix of the power, precision, and impact force to do that.

Chuck Norris once heard that nothing can kill him, so he tracked down nothing and killed it with one punch.

Sorry to read that the guy died...

There is a whole bunch more in that story, it seems to me anyways.

I'm thinking some type of "construction wars". Victim worked for a different construction company, yet always parked his company truck there. Maybe lost a cush contract? Who knows though. The way the story was written, makes it seem as though the deceased was the neighborhood "don"...err parking his company truck there at 1:30, to make it easier for him to get home at 3?

Then there's the naturalized citizen aspect, which is great & all...but aren't there a few US citizens who can, or would like to work construction.

I know of multiple scientists working in healthcare (there is a defined shortage of US citizen clinical scientists) whom are working towards becoming US citizens, a few are nearing a decade of sponsored working Visa transitioned to green card. The legal minutia with which they have put up with, as well as out of pocket costs is simply dumbfounding. Maybe they should have gone into construction?

I've been sucker punched before and knocked out for a moment. Luckily my brother was there to restrain him until I came to. Then watched me fight the guy until he had enough. Afterwards my brother told me "never take your eyes off of someone that's pissed at you". Haven't made that mistake again.

Yeah...There are a ton of people out there who want to win at all cost. These people like to think their warriors but are really girls. Dangerous...Girls. lol.

Yeah - when I was a kid a bully athlete punched me in the face and broke my nose. Not going to give someone the chance again if I have a choice.

 

[clearconscience]

This happens quite often. This happened to a kid at a high school.

That's whats scary. If someone is trying to attack me who knows if there punch or kick won't kill me.
If they attack me with my kids there's no question.

Man charged in 1-punch death in downtown Las Vegas accused of threatening witness

Campos, a resident of La Puente, California, died four days after he was struck once at Vanguard Lounge. He collapsed and likely hit his head, according to the Clark County coroner.

A one strike kill is certainly possible! Rare, but possible. It's really like a sloppily fired bullet, can't call it back after the impact!
I've always believed that getting into a, near, fighting posture is the best procedure. If it intimidates the other guy, (I'm big) so much the better. If not, then I'm still not going to be caught off guard!
'Course I'm so old now that I couldn't defend against a teacup chihuahua! So, I guess, look meek and be prepared to draw.
So sad, about these deaths! Many seem to be drug or alcohol fueled!

 

[Aero Denezol]

I tend to think it's possible.. During my college years I watched at least two guys on two separate occasions get punched once and go into convulsions. Maybe they were nowhere near death, but it sure didn't look right. It didn't look like the movies, that's for sure.

 

[11Charlie]

It is definetly possible. One shot strike to the nose in a upward motion breaking the nose and shoving that bone into the brain!!
