Threatened by a scally.

Was it the super army soldier (or real SAS, I mean!) who was asked why they had shot the person 47 times (or some large number) and replied "I ran out of ammo"?

there we go fixed that for you. Seriously though there has always been an underclass of scrotes - it seems to me though that they are much more open and bold about it these days (and no I'm not one for lionising the Crays or their ilk).

I had an odd thing not long ago.

I was at the pub smoking and someone who was pissed asked me for a cigarette. I gave him one and he asked me if he could use my lighter which I handed him. Then his friend came over and asked threateningly "why are you talking to this retard?"
I didn't know which one of us he was referring to and made that clear so he told me to shut the fk up and stop bothering his friend.
I told him that I had merely given him a cigarette and he told me again to shut the fk up and asked if I wanted a fight.

I don't know how I had indicated that that might be the case.

I had a very similar situation 20 years ago, I did knock him out, I got done for ABH, I had to pay him compensation, friends of mine were witnesses for the prosecution, this taught me a valuable lesson, it also came back on me when I got married, as we were unable to emigrate to Canada like we had planned.

Amazing how the justice system can work against the original victim.

The Law will look at whether the response was proportionate, and knocking someone out for giving you a bit of verbal will not be seen as proportionate - an understandable reaction, for sure, but not one the Law will see as a justifiable response.

Thats not correct.

A bloke I used to work with was done for ABH after finding an intruder in his home. This was a 60 year old man arriving home to find a scrote hiding behind a door in his living room.

This sort of thing used to happen a lot when I lived 'oop North' but since moving down to sleepy Devon, things have been much better. However, due to a balls up in the life department, I'm now living in a not so brilliant part of Torquay.

I get on fine with all the local yoofs even the ones that appear to be druggies/scum they are (so far) surprisingly fine, it's all the middle aged (my age) and older buggers that seem to have a REAL attitude.

Bloke next door was fine with me (I make an effort to get on with everyone) until one day he decided that the dog had been barking at the gate and went nuts at me. I was 'mildly surprised and rather taken aback so said nothing - soon said, soonest mended and all that.

Anyway, I just carried on as normal and a few weeks passed, he just ignored me which was fine, and then I had an RSPCA inspector on my doorstep. I thought they were collecting or round to see why I'd stopped supporting them with cash, so invited the guy in. No, it turned out I'd been reported for abusing my dogs! One, apparently, was so fat it couldn't walk and the other was beaten and a cowering wreck.

Fortunately, at the time the chap (very pleasant as it happens) was talking to me, one dog was cuddled up next to me with her head on my lap, and the other was running in and out of the bedroom bringing the RSPCA guy toys! He could see they were both fine, loved and cared for and we had a nice chat, but I was fking fuming inside. He couldn't tell me who had sent this 'malicious' report (his words) but kept on nodding his head in next doors direction.

Thank you very much.

Next time I saw him, I had 'words'. He was with his wife so I was being polite(ish) and I really just wanted to know why. He again went utterly mental and called me every name under the sun and was 'going to smash my face in'... so I made a thing of taking my watch off and putting it safe and then stepped out of the gate and went to see him. You have never seen a bloke scarper so fast... his wife carried on giving it large on his behalf seeing as he'd scarpered so I returned the favour.

If I see him now or he's out when I go out, he goes back indoors fast.

Best of it is, I'm a cripple. Walk very badly with a stick and hardly a threat to anyone. It seems people see me now as a soft target and feel free to have a go at me as they see fit.

Thanks for that, hugely informative.

If it makes you happier, I was merely pointing out that there is no right to smack someone for giving you some lip. I was not intending to get into some nerdy lawyer discussion on the defences of provocation or self-defence, because I thought that was likely to bore the arse off funkyrobot. However, if you think his boredom threshold is unnaturally high, off you go.

I didn't wish to argue points of law either, hence not elaborating on why you were incorrect. I think everyone knows anyway.

What concerns me is that the scrote in the original post might next time select an older or infirm person who will feel more intimidated and hand over more, and more the next time and the next....

I really don't get this. Hitting someone once is fine in Hollywood or if you are a soldier and know what you are doing but if someone was found in my house and I managed to get the upper hand, I'm not trained to do exactly the right thing. I'll be st scared and will hit them until I'm sure that they are no longer a threat.

Surely they should be taking that into consideration. Obviously they don't.

[Ganglandboss]

A few years ago, I was in Blackpool. There were a load of people on both sides of the road waiting at a pelican crossing. One chav decides he's not waiting for the lights and walks out into the road, in front of a taxi. The taxi driver slams the anchors on and blasts the horn. The chav slams both hands on the bonnet, shouting stuff such as "I'll fkin' knock you out, you fkin' fat bd". He continued his volley of abuse and the door of the taxi opens. The taxi driver, who was indeed an enormous fat bd, strolled over and lamped him. He strolled back to his taxi, as cool as anything and got back in. By this point, the last few people were finishing crossing, and another chav leans over to him and laughs, saying "Hey mate! He just made your dick look fkin' tiny!" and walked off. When everyone had left the crossing (with the exception of the chav on the floor), the taxi driver just steered around him and drove off.

You should be ashamed of yourself really. You are contributing to someone's cancer risk. I can see exactly why his friend had a right to be annoyed with you.

[anonymous-user]

Not.

Walking home in Essex (Southend), a guy walks up to me, shows me a knife and asks me if I support Celtic or Rangers. I told him I didn't really follow club football, but I did watch the odd international. He then put away the knife and asked me if I want to go for a pint sometime.

Some people are just really bonkers.

If you travel in risky places,carry in your pocket a co2 bike tyre inflator,the type with a trigger. A quick blast of co2 produces an auto gasp reflex and a lung full of co2 resulting in temporary suffocation and partial collapse. Then you choose, escape or punish.
Scum at your car , shouting thug, punching your window, quickly full left lock and reverse gear,rev and drop clutch. Problem solved. Again, escape or punish, your choice.
