So hopefully everyone's halloween went better than mine. It started out well enough. We met up at a friends house then walked downtown to get some drinks. Ended back at the house for the after party. A friend of mine was acting the fool so I tried to take him aside and talk some sense into him. The next thing I remember is briefly waking up in the ambulance and then waking up in the ER with a cop next to me asking if I wanted to press charges.

As I write this I have quite the black eye with several stitches above it. My neck is sore and it's even somewhat painful to type this due to a sprained wrist. I got an MRI and had some Xrays taken, there's no permanent damage. So with the fact this was the result of actions taken by a druken long time friend I feel I did the right thing by giving him a mulligan and not pressing charges.

I don't remember the immediate events preceding the attack but from asking around I didn't do anything that would "warrant" a punch.

He has offered to reimburse me for my medical expenses.

Given this description would you have pressed charges, or not?

p.s. No, no guns were involved in any way shape or form. None were present at all at the scene of the crime, but still wanted to get feedback from this community.
