So, I punched his ass back, and then we started tussling, you know, it's very icy, and we ended up tussling by the stairs. uh… fighting, fighting, fighting. There was a second person involved who was kicking me in my back and … then it just stopped, and they ran off. And I saw where they ran.
Nobody in the history of ever has described a physical fight like that. A truthful account would have a detailed reconstruction (unless the person was knocked out or has memory loss). It would sound like this: First he kicked me from behind, I fell to the ground. I got up and hit him in the face with my right hand. The other guy pinned my left hand to my back and the other guy punched me in the face.
Something like that.
But he doesn't do that. He has no detail. First it's tussling - that's more a school-yard fight term. But teacher, we were only tussling! fighting, fighting, fighting - he avoids giving any detail at all. No person that has been attacked would describe the attack that way. It is a highly emotional event, an insult to the person physically and mentally. This is not something that anybody would just gloss over. He can't bring the script to a good ending, so they "just ran off".
JS faced a number of problems: his script was bad and not well rehearsed. He should have known how people react to attacks. He should have researched it better. The second problem is - He wants to portray himself as not weak - this is very important to him - but still getting attacked. That is not easy to do, and he failed miserably of course.
His arrogant and narcissistic personality led him to believe that he could pull it off. Unfortunately for him, the sequence of events made no sense, and he is a really bad actor. Fortunately for him, he will not have to improve his acting skills, since there will be no more work in that area for him. He is toxic, nobody will ever touch him again. A good career move would be the graveyard shift at Subway, since he doesn't mind being out in the cold in the night, so that's a good fit.
I notice he’s very keen to describe where he was, who he was talking to and that his phone was in his pocket while the attack took place - but he’s glossing over all the relevant details of the “attack”, and instead focusing on showing how credible it is. The rope was a very weird addition to the story - how didn’t he notice that when he tells us how he wants to order a salad just before

Great write up!
