Respect - Would assume they or someone thought twice about approaching you again. You may win some and may loose others. It’s the thought that this will not be a cakewalk that earns respect
I’d hang it up if I got life in prison, I’d probably do it if I got 10 years. That shit isn’t for me. I did 28 days once for unpaid tickets when I was 23 that were from high school, and that was enough jail time for me!
Damon has got one heck of a story, the man changed an entire prison system then changed his life! We did a lengthy interview and condensed it down to 28 minutes for this episode the full length is available as well on our channel.
Atleast he kept it real. I swear he was gonna give us his Rocky story. Prison fights aren't usually about winning, but about standing up and not standing down. So I've been told. Respect is funny like that.
I’m an old jail birdie in my past and one thing fasho if I don’t know anything it’s never about who’s wins and lose it’s about who has heart!

ended just how i expected, there’s always a good chance there’s someone bigger and stronger but thats not the point, it showed them that he’s not a follower or someone to be manipulated.
Lol and because he said he gave it his all and this dude still beat him down I %100 believe him. I also guarantee he got respect for making it clear he has no issues with violence lol long as you fight you’ll do a lot better than caving in.
My response to the question is that G.Gordon Liddy only went to Medium Security prisons, and his suggestion was to beat the first guy just short of his life. Killing him was going too far for the same result. We can’t all be Rorshach (thank heavens).
The other guy knew pretty well he was gonna win. But the fact the skinny dude threw the swing anyways and kept trying is what makes the big guy have to rethink it. He may still have to follow through to save his own face, but he’s gonna be looking out for you too
“The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.”
This is a line in a show of course, but it is very accurate in the description of the type of mindset you need to have in a combat environment. If you’re able to mentally just accept the fact that you’re dead already, and you’re not going home, you stop worrying about all of that and you just focus on what’s in front of you at that moment. You stop worrying about bills and family and all the things that can distract you from being able to do some really horrific things, that are necessary to do in combat. You’re able to just focus on the here and now and what you need to do to make sure the guy next to you lives. And he’s doing the same thing for you (hopefully). You don’t need to concern yourself anymore with how many days you’ve been there or how many days till you’re out. That alone will change the way you look at your deployment. Everything in the military is a mental game. Serving in whatever capacity you do, the mental aspect is way more difficult to deal with than the physical challenges. Your body adapts pretty quickly to almost anything but your mind is a lot harder to “train” to be mentally tough.

That's because I'm not about to fight for you and watch your back if you're not gonna fight for yourself. So what I rough you up a little, you'll live. At least it was with me who isnt trying to really hurt you or stab you and also that just did 2 things for your benefit. 1 everyone knows you're about it now so nobodys gonna just fuck with you and 2 If you ever get jumped then others of your own kind will come help you now. So yeah it be you own kind but don't get it twisted its not outta hate
Ahahaha yeah bro it be like that sometimes bro glad to hear yu faught back tho. You saved yourself a lot of trouble in the future by standing up for yourself
I been in and out of Prison and yes I seen blood shed However I never had these issues they speak of and I'm a little white guy from Miami Florida Carol City. Oh Florida Prison and Ohio Prison I was in different times
I always said hoping I never reach it because iv never reached it b4 but if I ever go to prison im doing the samething fight as much as I can and if i get beat I get beat atleast I didnt bitch out n I tried

Respect for standing your ground. Tough experience
Even tho you lost you earned respect stood your ground like a man
You may have lost a fight .. but you always earn everyone's respect when you stand up for yourself! 🙏🏽
You fought back. That's what's important
You fought back, that's what's important.
That didn't end the way I expected..😂
“I’m ridin w GOD” is crazy when you hit the pinta 😂
😂😂😂I’m here dying
Yeah bro it’s not coo to get beat up but rather get beat up and stand your ground than to be a pushover in a different environment. Big props g

That's respect to get down like that and admit the truth of outcome
Much respect to you my man.

Did 4 weeks myself at the same age. Boring as hell in a pod with 24 losers. Cured me from being a lawbreaker lol
Some of y’all might laugh but I respect this man he wasn’t no duck he caught no matter what anyone says he still faught
You won by losing without hesitation. Respect ✊
Nobody's undefeated... that don't matter... As long as you go your good.

best Christian story ever im riding with God 😊😊
Sometimes you HAVE to fight that day to live long enough to see tomorrow.
I tell the youth all the time, The only thing that matters is that you stood your ground because even Mike tyson lost a fight or two 🤔
“…we kicked God out a long time ago” if that ain’t some cold ass words right there. DAYUM
😂 I feel u when you said he beat you but long as I fight
You only lose when you don't fight
Win, Lose or Draw. You will have bought your respect.

The first thing they are going to do is ask to check your paperwork.
Exactly
Only in the west coast it veryz

Yea they ain't checking shit in tn
They should tho
Lmfao!!!! The ending was worth it
One thing is 100% certain it's your own kind that will always try you first, ain't that some s***

Who else was expecting him to say he knocked the big dude out😂 this is the first prison story i actually believe.
Hella funny! He stood 10 toes down though.
As long as you show up to the teeter tooters after school you have already won more than someone thats home before the bell rings.
Lol this dude is hilarious💯
Win lose or draw its bout respect
Respect !!!!!
Finally someone that admits to getting beaten up

Respect
Aye fight or flight
God was there, you brought him back
I mean he felt that punch in morning, but yeah…

And then he told the truth.
aye you fought back and got the first hit,that’s all that matters🪶
