So end of class. I go to a trade school for auto tech. This kid starts flashing the light maybe 5~ feet away with one of those huge superbright LED flash lights something a security guard would have. I asked him politely in a stern tone, "could you please not shine that in my face." And he did it again with the strobe on. It burned a bit and I said, "quit that shit or I'll knock you out." He gets up and starts mad dogging me saying "you'll what?!" Over and over. Class was minding their own business its towards the end of it and everyone's talking. I had my hand in my back pocket holding my pocket knife in case he would go for a cheap shot. I said "I asked you nicely and you flashed that shit in my face." "I dont care pussy" he replied and walked away kinda pissed. I thought I was cool with this kid so I said, "thanks for showing me your true self dick." And he came back I stared him down as I sat and said, "lay a finger on me and I'll have my lawyers handle you." With the smuggest smile on my face. I dont know why I said that. Not to be a stereotype but I'm Jewish and have good lawyer relatives. "Your lawyers wont protect you" and walked away.

After that happened I wondered why I said that and asked my group mate if I was in the wrong. He said he didn't see the whole thing so wouldn't say. So anyways reddit... am I the asshole?
