I’ll leave the toe to toe fist fights to the teenagers and the 20 somethings.
I’m to old for that and not in the shape I used to be. I’m not going rounds with someone who is 35 years my junior.
I’ll try to deescalate or evade the situation first.
If that doesn’t work then you get what you get.
Fvcking with old people can be hazardous to your health. Now more so than ever.
Realy, a whistle! You could pemantly damage someone’s ears with one of those. There now it’s in print, someone on the left is bound to pick this gem up as sound advise.
Sometimes it’s perfectly fine to kill a fly with a sledge hammer. Personally, given the opportunity, i’d do it every single time.
Let’s hope this douche doesnt experience a home invasion for real, otherwise, he’d have an oh shit moment for a last thing to do alive.
I wont be wronged.
I wont be insulted.
I WONT BE LAID A HAND ON.
I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

I could not agree more…and this is a philosophy Ive striven to live by for many years now. Talk ALL the shit you want. THREATEN ALL you want. Make ONE f-ing move or act to carry out those threats, and Ill kill you where you stand, period. And wont lose a minutes sleep over it.
I will echo the “at a point in my life where I have too much too lose to be fist fighting” sentiment. When you work with your hands for a living, just breaking a hand could cause some very serious project delays and financial hardship. Of course, much worse could happen.
There was a fight at a local bar last month which is located on the waterfront and has a large deck over the water. This poor kid got punched in the face, fell through the rail, hit his head on a boat (knocking him unconscious), and was pulled under by the current. His friends immediately dove in to rescue him, but it was night and very dark. The rescue squad recovered his body the next morning.
Well, it is true that “I’m scared” is not justification for deadly force. However it gets complicated because a several-on-one “beat down” could easily leave you crippled or with brain damage or blind or dead. Similarly someone with a bat could also easily kill you. People don’t realize how serious these threats are, probably because in the movies people taking a baseball bat to the head just take a little nap and wake up with a headache.
