I must be a slight outlier in that I do not necessarily think Patrick is a pussy. A FFWB, sure. However I 100% think that if anyone came up to him, not go to a bar or take a picture from afar, and self-identified as one of his detractors he would likely get violent. Pat is classic ASPD(Anti-Social Personality Disorder) and has shown that he is willing to attempt to fight five cops at once and to escalate every encounter he is involved in. I gurantee if Boomia ever did show up at Pat's house then Pat would shoot him. Sociopaths like Pat don't feel guilt, fear, or shame. Would Pat shortly be enjoying prison after the coroner hauls Boomia's NJ trash corpse away? Absolutely. I personally would just not approach Pat because he is clearly deranged and I think anyone that does harbor desires to do so is just as much a faggot as Pat. That being said when Pat does ventilate the first stalker-child to come up to him I will be here to laugh.
I don't disagree that Pat might shoot someone and that he is unhinged.
I understand what you mean when you don't necessarily think he is a pussy.
I think he is more like the kind of guy who genuinely doesn't know how bad he is at fighting, or how difficult fighting is for real.
These come in different flavors, like the sort of guy who is never without his crew of lifelong mates or relatives, so he has never actually been in a serious one on one fight, or even a fight without this backup being present.
Sure, anyone can take on hard fuckers if they have a few friends to sucker punch or dog pile said hard fucker.
Patrick doesn't have any friends, and I can't see Varsity Kyle lurking in the shadows holding a pool cue to crack a stalker child round the skull, so Fatrick isn't used to a crew on demand.
The other sort, which I think Fatrick is more likely to be is the sort of guy who mostly just confronts people when he knows that police, security guards, bar staff, or other people who are obligated to attempt to de escalate the situation are present.
His references to being a gun owner too indicate to me he probably does carry whether he is allowed to or not, so potentially would draw it and psychologically depends on it thinking no one will mess with him once they see the gun.
That time he childed the fellow on video and those mature ladies basically stepped in to drag him away, was exactly the kind of confrontation I think he usually has.
That video ,in my opinion, was also firm evidence that he hasnt had any serious fight training or experience. The way he was standing and moving did not say trained or competent fighter. Just someone who thinks that standing square is intimidating to people who he thinks are not used to confrontation.
There is another sort, which I am not sure if he is, but wouldn't surprise me if he is, and that is the kind of guy who thinks that they can win any fight as long as they don't give up.
This sort of person is a fucking moron who clearly has never been hit or thrown a punch for real, they often also think that all they need to do is smack someone and most people will give up after a single punch.
If it came to it, I am sure he would throw a few swinging punches, but I am also sure he would be surprised and knocked off guard by even the most mediocre but more experienced fighter.
