Have you ever witnessed someone completely snap? What happened?

Me. My stepdad was not a nice man. He would constantly verbally and physically abuse my mother, my brother, and I. It went on for about 8 years until one day I just snapped. He (32) was arguing with my brother (17) about why he was using the laptop when he wasn't supposed to, proceeded to grab it and snap it in half. My brother of course started yelling at him and my mother tried to get in between. My stepfather proceeded to push my mother over the couch and pin my brother up against the wall by his neck, after about 10 seconds my brother began to wheeze and flail so me seeing that just caused something primal, and brutal to come out of me. I sprinted to my room, grabbed my baseball bat, and hit him in his upper spine as hard as I could. That alone caused him to let go of my brother. But after 8 years of physical, mental, and cruel abuse I was absolutely animalistic. I dropped the bat and mounted him and just proceeded to smash his face in with my fists as fast and hard as I could. I still remember how fucking great it felt to do that. Anyway, he went in the ICU for over a month; and I was arrested and sent to live with my actual father. The charges were dropped under the circumstances and I had to take anger management classes. I would totally do it again.
