Dealing with a group of gobby/aggressive youths

[miles2018]

How would you deal with them? without it turning nasty? In this instance it's a group of youths being anti social and gobby.

Easy... walk away.

The difficulty being that I am in a position where I am expected to deal with it

This probably should be moved to the lounge

Are they outside your front door? Why do you have to deal with them?

[PositronicRay]

Face down the ring leader. Are they still there?

This is impossible to answer without knowing far more about the situation and people involved.
The right answer could be to walk over and tell them to grow up and fk off, or retreat to a safe distance and phone the police.

this is a nuanced question. you need to explain the circumstances much more.

Use my powerfully built physique to dominate them.

No way would youths be gobby to me.

You want to minimise escalation, make yourself the least target possible.
Don't react to taunts or gesticulations, don't make threats. if you need to converse, give them respect and politeness; don't show fear, be confident, don't show any weakness they can exploit.

Dominate with glares...
