Do you think its fair?

lcmcpa

Your friend should have sued him. It might not be too late. Yes, it is fair that you pay his costs, you have no right being a vigilante, we have laws to cover these things. That is how our society stays civil, obeying the laws.

ms_upsidedown

Yeah. It wasn't your beef. Should've stayed out of it.

Nova

Assuming you started it, legally, yes it's fair. "Because he beat up my friend" is not a good reason in the eyes of the law. From a karma sake, no, it's not fair, he got what was coming to him.

Lesson learned? Don't get caught.

British Gentleman

Nope, if you beat him hard enough he wouldn't dare sue you.

bkc99xx

You may have won the fight, but he must have hit you hard enough in the head to knock the sense completely out of you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be wasting your time asking such an obvious question. Save up your allowance and get ready to pay up.

craz34jason

You were the one to start the fight, so I think that's why they sued you. Did you go to court and all that? The other guy injured you, too, so it should be like a 50/50 thing, but then i think the other guy would win because you were the one that started the whole thing.

dollbaby2407

Heck yeah it's fair. I would have sued you too. Who cares if he beat your friend up up. 2 wrongs don't make a right. You should have let it go.. And if his parents are suing then you both must be minors and there for I doubt you have a job so your parents have to probably pay it for you. Now that parts not fair. You did it not them you should be the one paying... Hopefully you have learned a leason.. Fighting is not worth it...

slo_gin007

Yeah that's what happens when you resort to violence, nothing in life is fair, and by trying to play vigilante you just mad matters worse, consider it a lesson learned.

jimmi g

if you break it you pay it,man up and pay they bill,,bet your friend is'nt going to help you pay?? next time mind your own bussiness right?????

Chaz

In the eyes of the law, you are only allowed to fight someone in the course of defending your life or the life of someone else. This would not fit that strict criteria.
This is not "justice", but it is the law.

jbla64

Yes of course it is fair. You initiated the fight and by your own confession "kicked the sh!t out of him." That's what happens.

Melissa B

Yes that is fair. The guy did something to your friend and not you. It wasn't your battle to fight AND they guy wasn't threatening you so you really had not justification to the whole "I was protecting myself and felt endangered". I hate to say, but fighting isn't the answer and you should have to compensate :(

Sorry, I know this isn't the answer you are looking for.

Baloneyus_Monk

How old are you?

Two wrongs never make a right. Too bad there was no other way to settle this between the three of you; besides duking it out. Hope you all learned something from this experience and that it is better to use ones head than ones fists. So pay the bill.

gomanyes562

Yes, it's fair. You can't beat anyone up. Period.

The only exception is if he attacked you first and you acted in self-defense.

Geoff C

Yes your friend had the same option to sue the other guy you had no legal right to start a fight with him.

That is what police and juries are for.

We dont have the right to exact justice when someone is wronged that is why we have all those big courthouses and police forces.

you are lucky you are not being arrested. Think next time.

nice_n_easy

Since the other guy parents sue not you but your parents. I suppose you are still a minor therefore you are still under the supervision of your parents, and if there is somebody to sue it is your parents.

It is up to the court to find you guilty of some wrong doing to sue you to pay the other guys bill in the hospital. Why should you pay the bill when there is no probable cause yet summoned by the other aggrieve party yet so you have no obligation to pay the hospital bill let the court decide if you should pay the bill or not upon the plaintiff complain of physical injury upon you when you hit.

Bandit

Yes. Absolutely. He would not have been injured but for your actions. Judge is going to make you pay, hope it was worth it.

unicornbucky

Yes. You should never fight other people's fights. Besides I can understand if you're friend was in danger or you were about to get your *** whooped. If it was not self defense,then you ****** up and you have to pay. At least you're not in jail,which is where you'll end for being such a retard.

sofive0

Yep! Fighting is against the law.....
You could be held liable both civilly and criminally.

Timothy T

you should never have to go fight some dude just cuz he beat up your friend. you sure thats all your friend did? i used to know this kid in school that ppl loved to pick on,dude got me in more fights then i did myself,,lol.. even got me kicked outta school..then one day i caught the lil mother !@#$^% starting trouble one day ..wow,,i was not happy bout that and i'll save you the rest of that story but you can't do the revenge thing by law,,you can defiend yourself but ya can't go after ppl just cuz they beat someone up. see thats why we have cops and b/s,,would they have done anything,,no but that what they'll tell ya in court my friend,,been there done that!! how old are you man?

carterchas

Your lucky you are not paying a criminal penalty, for assult and battery. You do not have the legal right to violently avenge yourself upon other people.
If you two agreed to fight, it might be different. If you were there when your friend was being beat up, you could have given protection.
If you still think you're right, build a time machine and go back to the Old West.

hoovarted

You said you had a good reason to fight him.
Did you show his parents the rule book.
Apparently they don't know the rules.
Rule 12 on page 117 clearly states that in the event that a participant shall receive an *** kicking after a fight and it was clearly noted by all engaging pugalists beforehand that the fight was being waged on a stated premise understood by both parties as for "a good reason", neither participants nor their assigns shall have any reason for discourse of retaliaition.
Like I said, His parents haven't read the rule book.

Wait a minute........
You did get the guy to sign a waiver before the fight didn't you?
If you didn't than you screwed yp.
They will claim the "no good reason" defense and you are SOL.

neounllimited

well u should pay, i don't care if he beat up ur friend i mean there r MUCH better ways to deal with that type of things!

capricorn dancerâ™¥

If not for the fact that you got involved then these sequence of events and injury would not have occurred.

alaskamusher2

No it is not fair. You should do a little jail time and get some mental health help.
