Yeah, thank God I've done more of those than knocking-outings.
The latter ends up with broken jaws, and the dealer of that damage has to deal with the fact they did that to another human being.
It's not nice.

Then you go back to what they were doing to make that happen, and you give zero fucks.
Threatening a dude with a broken arm and a girl.
I put the threat down. Yokage would have been better. That's not what happened.

I wish I could play that differently. It's a thing to learn.
Imo, I should have taken the chance on getting the dude in a yoke and waiting the 15 seconds vs. shutting him down in 1/2 second
with a knockout blow.
I have regrets. 15 seconds can be all the time in the world.
If I could do it again, I'd yoke him, and if his brother fucked with me while I was yoking him, I'd fuck him up,
but I think yoking was the right solution that night, and I didn't do it.
