If you’ve never been in one, no need to comment “never”. For me it was over a decade ago as a teenager at a state fair. Quick fight broke out between an annoying guy and myself. He was following my little group around tossing stink bombs at us. A little pushing turned into a little punching. We both ended up in cuffs but neither with actual charges. We were both banned for the following 2 years from that fair.
In school as a teenager, about 20 years ago I think. I punched a bully twice my size straight in his face (not very hard since I’m weak, but he got pretty surprised). All the others knew not to fuck with me already because I’m autistic and lack some emotional stuff which can make me seem pretty unhinged, but he was the “ring leader” and got emboldened because I was also an outsider weirdo and that made me an easy target. I didn’t get in any trouble because what would they even have told? lmao
