The parking lot choke hold is one of the most safest, reasonable ways to deal with this kinda thing.

Nah, that's a standard blood choke. He'll just wake up with a headache. I've had to do that to drunk friends before too.

farking idiots who've been indoctrinated by MADD commercials. You've got to be a lot drunker then that guy looked before it's a real problem.

Yeah, your change of getting in an accident goes up when you've had a few drinks, but it's not until you get up to the 0.18BAC area until its a real problem. Would you knock out someone because they were planning on driving while talking on a cell phone? Even with a hands free set, they are worse then a driver with a 0.08BAC.

You'd be surprised. Had to deal with drunk friends who were that determined, and strong or strung enough to get through you if you didn't do something that would make SURE they weren't going anywhere or doing anything - and do it quick and hard so they wouldn't see it coming and duck it or whatnot.

Somewhat risky? Yeah. Riskier than letting them drive. Hell Fark No.

It is illegal to drive and talk on your cell phone at the same time in lots of places now for that exact reason. You can't tell if someone is going to use their phone while driving, cause you can just put your cell phone away but. you can't put away your drunk while you drive.

I've actually had to do this before (yeah yeah, I'm an internet tough guy, I know, I know...). And it actually is a basic choke. Its called a rear naked choke, basically once you get it locked in, the person being choked goes out in 5-10 seconds. Then they stay out for 10-20 (though to them it feels like MUCH longer) seconds. They they wake up, stare up at you with a look of blank confusion on their face, then get to enjoy a bit of a headache. This is a pretty harmless technique, assuming you let go as soon as they go out. Does not even really hurt, just feels very uncomfortable. This guy should have put him on his back and elevated his legs. Other than that, props for stopping his friend from driving.

For every mile walked while drunk, you're 8 times more likely to be injured or killed than that same mile driven drunk. You might, then, be safer driving drunk than walking drunk.

Look. Science-like inferences from data. (new window)

It sure would be nice if people learned to rely on their brains, rather than their fists. No wonder our prisons are overcrowded.

It sure would be nice if people learned to rely on their brains, rather than their fists. No wonder our prisons are overcrowded.

Talking to him wasn't working, and any other less painful solution would have required someone else's cooperation in stopping him, which he may not have had in this situation (there are certainly more violent solutions he could have used). I'm pretty sure that not only did this guy stop someone from potentially going to jail for drunk driving, but maybe the drunk will remember this the next time he tries to drink and drive and maybe listen to his friend.

Also, our prisons are overcrowded because politicians have been able to sell the war on drugs to the public and use scare tactics to justify legislation requiring overly long prison sentences that particularly target minority communities, thus creating an unneeded prison industry along with the "jobs" and kickbacks from prison contractors which ensure re-election of these same politicians.

No but I do flag the OPP to drivers on the 401 who are talking on their cell phones / texting while driving.

Exactly how are you able to discern BAC by sight & sound?

Did you listen to the video? I'm guessing it was a different video from the one I heard. The man in red has slurred speech, and seems to acknowledge that he's had too much to drink but he has "responsibilities".

Don't get me wrong, I'm not debating someone being on the phone vs someone drinking and driving. However, I am saying that if I was about to get behind the wheel of a vehicle, with my daughter in the back, after I've had even just 3 beers in an hour, personally I hope someone would punch my lights out. I absolutely know that everyone has a different tolerance for alcohol (BMI, when the last meal was, etc), so I'm not saying there is a "hard and fast" how much you can drink before you can be behind the wheel. What I AM debating is the idea that there is some sort of "brain washing" with regards to DUI of any sort. IMO if you save the life of a friend and their kid, even if it ends the friendship, you're not an idiot.

Ya ya ya, my opinion is colored based on my own experiences, and I am going to guess you've of course had different.

I only watched the first minute or so, but as soon as his daughter was mentioned, all bets were off. As you said, there's a lot of variation in how much needs to be consumed before one is no longer 'good to drive', but as soon as you enter that grey area, the kid in the car should be an automatic red light. I mean, ideally, getting in the car should be, but not everyone cares about a random jogger and their dog as much as they do their kid.

There was a lot of things that needed to be established prior to the punching and chokehold. We were witness to a social event that sociologists love to study. The conversation prior to violence established things that needed to be set in stone. Such as; Driver was drunk. His daughter was in the car. The puncher desires to help children. Puncher loves punchee. Punchee loves puncher but has responsibilities. Punchee also has to prove that he is a real successful african american. Puncher has to agree with that and establish that he (puncher) is indeed one as well.

These are social rituals that must be established prior to violence of love. Had puncher merely flattened and choked punchee there could have been all kinds of serious ramifications afterwards, as noted by puncher stating 'when you watch this remember I love you dog'.

These are important actions. I've stood behind a lot of men and choked them out, and very rarely were they aware of how much I loved them.

Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine. People grammar nazi over that but IMO when people use the apostrophe it's always clear what they mean (even if it's grammatically incorrect) as opposed to "correct" but somewhat confusing. People use acronyms much more frequently than they did even a decade ago, and the official language has yet to adapt. It will probably even worse in the future as more acronyms become common because more and more of them will have a mix of capital and lower case letters. So for example if you see "WotCs" is that new acronym? Or some kind of plural or possessive form of Wizards of the Coast?
