Beaten up. No. But I have inflicted sufficient pain to gain my objective, either getting a person to stop something or subduing someone.
If someone was beating on a woman, I’m more than willing to use sufficient force to stop the assault, but no more.
My cousin once tried to do that. This little guy was beating up his girlfriend on the street at bar time. My drunk 6 foot something cousin saunters over saying something like “why don’t you pick on …” Before he finished, the “little guy,” who happened to be a boxer, landed about 4-5 jabs dead center on his face. Of course, my cousin only realized this after he was able to pick himself up out of the gutter and get rid of the stars he was seeing. Guy and girl were long gone.
