Talk:Life Hacks/no-pan/Push Billy's Dad into attacking you

I've had a thought rolling around in my head for a while. Patricia is very anti-violence, but how would she react to this situation? Xander did, indeed, choose to re-direct Hank's fall in such a way that his head would slam into his knee, but that is something that requires a fair amount of training and would look like Hank just accidentally tripped and happened to land that way without Xander doing anything. And then, Xander is trying his best to render medical attention. (So far as the training involved, I could do something like what Xander did, but me and my opponent would have to both be standing and I could not make it look like an accident. Or rather, I could, just not like I had no involvement. It would look like I was trying to do a non-harmful take down and I clumsily smashed them into my knee. I do know people who could do precisely what Xander did though, including my Sensei. It is more a matter of skill than superhuman ability, but of course Xander's superhuman ability helps.) At any rate, no one except someone who has the same kind of training would even suspect it is possible for Xander to have done that on purpose. An untrained outside observer would just see that Hank tripped while trying to attack someone who was backing off and did nothing. (Of course, then there is the fact that he used some pretty inflammatory language leading up to this incident.) Jemini (talk) 02:14, 30 October 2016 (CET)
