Except it doesnt quite work out like that unfortunately.

I was in a club a few years ago, and when I left some random bitch jumped me, so I naturally reacted...nothing was broken or anything, and tbh it only took a few punches to floor her. And then I was the one who got arrested because she was bleeding more

Load of ****e, and one of the many reasons I hate the police
