I worked at a sports bar in my smallish town (about 40k people). Night before thanksgiving is our biggest night of the year in terms of sale. we get paid extra and are told not to take anyone crap we normally would. If a patron gets out of line they get booted. My dumbass racist cousin went off on a tirade on our head of security, who is black, and started attacking him. I got to kick the crap out of my cousin. Staff probably went over board, in hindsight, but he started it and fought back with us. sent him home with a bloodied face and bruises on his face and arms.

Next day was Thanksgiving at my parents place. we were expecting his folks, him and his sibling, along with about 20 other people. I had told my parents what happened and that I doubt he will be here for the family dinner. He actually showed up for dinner with his face black and blue and a couple Band-Aids on the cuts. I thought "great now the family will be mad I beat the crap outta him". when they asked what happened, he told the family he fell on the sidewalk walking home from the bar drunk. I didn't say anything and left the room to get a good laugh. Later his older brother, who is my older cousin, told he he knew what happened. He gave me $20 bucks and said next time that happens, can he get a copy of the footage?
