I’m not sure what America you guys live in but fights happen all the time with no legal intervention - criminal or civil. The one thing that does result in less fist fights here than in Europe is guns. You have to size up if the guy you are beefing with is going to freak out and pull out a gun because he feels threatened.
I’ve had to slow the flow on friends visiting here getting into heated exchanges by reminding them any any psycho in a bar or on the road might be packing, so take it back a few notches.
As for civil legal matters? The only way a fight gets taken to court is if one or both of the combatants have money/assets worth going after.
The reason Ralph is always so fast to start yelling about cops and lawyers is because he’s a fat white trash dirtbag who was raised around ppl who’s only chance at having more than a few hundred bucks to their name was via a shady lawsuit settlements. Car crash, slip and fall, fake animal part in your cheeseburger, etc…white trash think of lawsuits like lottery winnings. Ralph is always stewing that angle in his head, but he would have needed Pewdiepie to kick his ass, not Cog, for that grift to work.
As for snitching to the cops? The weakest white trash always try to get the police to solve their disputes and punish ppl for them.
