I was in a physical altercation last night. My wife and I divorced two years ago and she recently started dating a new guy. We still live in the same area as each other, and last night I ran into them at a bar. They were there getting drunk, and I just stopped in to pick up some food I had ordered. When they saw me, her hotshot new boyfriend yelled a few vulgarities at me and then started kissing my ex-wife. I totally just blew up at him, threw him on the ground, and started punching his face. I probably hit him 20-30 times before people pulled me off of him. Now I'm facing assault charges even though he started it. My lawyer just called me and said my ex's boyfriend is still in the hospital and that I could face jail time for this. This is probably the worst weekend of my life.

Good luck with that. I was actually happy when my first ex wife started dating other guys. Of course she could have waited until we separated first though..
I know everyone's thinking it so I'll just ask: Did you win her back? 
Don't do the crime if ya can't do the time.
Nobody forced you to do what you did. It was your own stupid decision.
In a different post you stated that you carry a gun 24/7. If you cant control the urge to assault people, you probably should not be allowed to carry a gun.
Why even tell anybody on a public forum about it? What do you expect from it? Attention? Pitty?
(If true, which I question, my troll radar starts to act up again)

That confirms it. Skeeter and Tom are sockpuppets.

When I first signed up last week, the site would not let me read posts until I registered with a username. I'm using my mobile phone, so maybe it works differently on computers, but at least you have that line of defense, Skeeter.
Is your name actually Skeeter or is that like a pen name?

Amir, I've been meaning to ask. Is your favorite weapon really an arakh? Isn't that a fictional weapon from Game of Thrones?
Yes. I am heavy into sci-fi and that's one of the things that got me into prepping.
I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason blades naturally appeal to me more than guns. (Though I still intend to purchase a rifle at some point in the near future)

Assault is always one of those weird cases. A lot of times, it doesn't really matter WHO started it, it matters who is in the hospital, and if at any point you could have ignored the behavior and walked away. My bet is that your lawyer may try and get it down to a lesser charge, which shouldn't be too difficult if you don't have any priors like this, but of course, it varies from state to state (and on how bad he's hospitalized). A lot of variables here, but none look great for you. My advice is to delete any online mention of it (do your lawyer a favor), before they find it. Kind of a real dick to press assault charges when he did that, but then again, may be your ex pressing them.
My lawyer thinks there is a good chance I can end up without a felony on my record which is reassuring. He said my clean record along with my status as a war veteran with PTSD will help my case.
And like I said before, Skeeter is only my nickname. I'm not worried about talking about this on an anonymous internet forum.

Let me ask you this though...does your ex have ANY old tech where you may have used that nickname? An old PC or laptop, an old phone, etc.? A really good lawyer could have a field day with that. Just getting you to think about covering the bases is all.
Not to mention is this tied to your email....
When I was a kid , igot into fistfights about once a week. I never started a single one of them. Now, its been about 30 years since I got into a fight, I guess I finally changed the world or either my perception of who started the fights was wrong. Couldn't have been the fact that I hated who I was and everyone on this planet .huh?

I missed this whole thread. I am such a behind the times loser. I need to pay more attention to all forum postings

You really didn't miss much Robin. Just a couple juveniles playing on their mommy's computer.
