When in the company of a violent person who has attacked you in the past, is most intelligent thing to do to share some booze with him? IMHO, they should add a year in jail for stupidity. Unfortunately, they still haven't made that a crime.I remember some parties that I went to as a kid where the parents would chit-chat while having a beer or two, but they never got close to the point where tempers would flare up and fights break out. Common sense seemed to be severely lacking at this party.
I'm just wondering where the other parents were when this happened? I would think that someone else knows about the history between these two and would try to keep things somewhat civil.
