I’m hesitant to tell this story because I feel like a piece of shit for my involvement in it, but it seems pertinent.
The other day was my buddy Jim’s 21st birthday. Jim is 6’4" 290 pounds. He’s a chubby fellow, but he knows how to throw his weight around. Jim got mad at his girlfriend, who was out of town for the weekend, because she apparently cheated on him or something. Understandably, he was pissed, but then he decided that he was going home. Home being about two hours away.
So here he is, drunk as a skunk after midnight, raging around my apartment. Too drunk to walk very well, but that kind of drunk seems to give you 'tard strength. I’m in the bathroom for all this taking leak. When I get out, my friends, WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING JIM, told me that he told he said he was leaving and threw them off when they tried to stop him.
We run down to stop him and have to pull him out of his car. This happens two more times. Finally, we get him back up into my apartment, but he tries to leave again. I live in a fairly high traffic area, so Jim WOULD have hit something, been pulled over, died, whatever. He was too drunk to see. At this point, we decide to take his keys away. My other friend goes for them, and Jim throws a nice haymaker. I’m the DD, so taking care of Jim is sort of my responsibiliy. I finally decide that this is out of hand, as Jim is flailing about, hitting anything in sight.
I RNC him. I’ve never done an RNC with the intention of knocking someone out. I’ve always applied pressure slowly, since I’ve been told so many times that it will knock a person out in a matter of seconds. This time I went for broke.
HOLY SHIT THEY WERE RIGHT! Jim went down after MAYBE 10 seconds, but I think it was more like 6 or 7. Knocked the fuck out. We rolled him on his side, and I fished his keys out of his pocket. He woke up about 15 seconds later and decided that staying the night was in his best interests.
The point of this story: That choke isn’t just the lion killer. No sir, it is the belligerent drunk knock-the-fuck-outer.
