LOL u did good! dont worry he probably got a DUI later that night or scratched his car,God is in charge of things.

verval assault its nothing it should be ignored aspie1 gave a nice tip on drive-by insults,phisical its different though.

peace

A couple of poeple have beeped their car at me (I think) before, even though I am not in their way.

Generally people who scream, shoot or throw objects from their car are doing so because they feel safe in a big box of metal with the capability of accelerating quickly, the term for this would be cowardice. In your case it was stupidity rather than cowardice.

I haven't been in too many physical fights in my life and the unfortunate times I have found myself in a fight I haven't lost. This might be a combination of mentality and a little knowledge or that I am somewhat physically intimidating. (6'1, 270 LBS) A few things that will help you avoid/win a fight is just to let it go, so some jackasses in a truck yelled at you... Morons are morons, when morons stop being as such start the countdown timer for the apocalypse.

If you have no choice but to defend yourself don't get scared. Breath deep and size the situation up, Don't look at the ground or at the surroundings look straight at the person who is trying to hurt you in the eyes (this can be a very hard thing to do), sometimes that is enough to dissuade someone. Keep a calm voice and if you have to raise it raise it and lower it quickly and don't threaten the other person. Pay attention to the person you are about to fight... Are their hands shaking, are they looking at you or something else, are they talking a lot, are they low to the ground in stance or standing straight up, are their legs close together or spread? All these things indicate a lot about how a person will fight, if they are scared or nervous and how to best fight them. The chances are you will forget to do most if not all of that in a fight.

Fight dirty; there is no rule that requires you not to kick or punch someone in the crotch, throw dirt in their eyes or attack them from behind. You didn't start the fight. If you feel that your life is actually in danger don't stop attacking the person until they aren't moving. Also a number of people have avocated knives and such, as someone else commented that is a very bad idea... pulling a knife or any weapon on someone can become a very deadly game especially if they have a gun that you don't know about. Again if you feel like the person is really trying to hurt you wait until the right moment to actually use the weapon don't just pull it out. Also if it is you against a GROUP of people or you are in a desolate area just RUN AWAY.

On that note: if someone tries to assault you call the police, if you win the fight call the police, if you lose the fight call the police... CALL THE POLICE. Collect any information you can on the person, plate number, name, anything. Well I hope this helps anyone that finds themselves in a bad situation. There is nothing wrong with running away from a fight, in a fight it is better to turn your back than it is to be laying on it.

I used to be harrassed alot from jocks in cars. One time I had a milkshake thrown at me but just 2 blocks away I ran straight into a cop and told him. The guys in the car were tracked down and the driver lost his privelages for awhile. Years later, I worked with alot of those groupie types and learned their ways. Many of them just thought it was fun to go out "razzing" and usually it was random targets. One day my friends and I went out in a minivan looking for jocks to razz! That was precious. We threw some loud "devices" at them and I never saw anyone run so fast in my life! Eventually you will see that they don't mean any harm or they grow out of what they do.

Any public altercation, I just look at them in my usual vacant-but-centered way, continuously, not moving a muscle, and they eventually get freaked and go away. Some will even cuss me out, while the entire time I look at them like a detached (deranged?) emotionless statue. Their anger soon turns to fear-of-the-unknown-me, and they leave, a bit shaken.

(This is the part where, if this were a movie, my character pulls out some ultimate torturous-death weapon, and, well...gets the last word.) Nothing scares evil people more than making them think you're more evil.

Then, I drop the act, resume my whistling and stroll away.

If you know who these people were, I'd be calling the cops. I wouldn't take the situation in my own hands because I'd be afraid of being charged with a crime if the situation escalated. Although, if someone started punching me I'd pepper spray them. You can easily get it off the internet if you can't find any locally.

Also, if someone yelled an insult at me out of a truck or SUV or whatever, I'd say - "Nice truck. Sorry about your penis!"

uhm...anger management?

When In doubt smile and say thank you. Direct agression is always wrong, make them come to you, it gives a terratorial advantage. The truck gives security, make them get out. There is always a lot of posing involved, circle right, it messes with people. Keep getting slightly closer, they have to fight or flee. They will try words, but I find a soft, Here kitty kitty, here kitty works wonders.

If they lunge toward you, usually a false charge, to see what you will do, flick out your left hand open, fingertips to the eyes, and they will involentary protect their eyes. It is best if you make contact, people are very eye face oriented, and better yet if they grab your hand.

Basicly they have their hands on their head, your hand is in there, and move some weight forward, not a lot, they will push back, then you pull with the left and bring the right forward with the force of a brick. contact with the fore head shows where the mouth nose, chin, neck are.

Do not hit people when they are down, that is what feet are for. Short ribs and knees are undefendable targets. Do not lean over, stay upright and keep the fight between you and their friends. To attack they have to walk over the fallen.

Well Officer, I was just walking home when these guys stopped their truck, got out, came over to me and threatened to kill me. I just wanted him to stop, I hope I did not hurt him. Those poor kids seemed mentally unbalanced, like they were on dope or something.

For advanced work, rough neighborhoods, I fish. Two half ounce round tear drop fishing sinkers and an eighteen inch leader with a snap on each end. I like the stainless with plastic covering. One crimps with my little finger, the rest I palm, and with a bit of practice, it is drop, swing, and it has the speed of a rapier, with the blow of a ball peen, a slap to the skull and they drop. My range is better than a knife, tire iron, and it can be done in a way that when one drops, others standing with him do not know why.

My grand mother used to carry an ivory darning egg in a long sock. She taught me the trick.

The fishing set is invisable at night, and in the event of a police presence, twirl it about and you can throw it over a building. It also works on wrists, elboes, and kneecaps.

Guns and knives are called deadly weapons, stay away from them, they involve long prison sentences.

I want, nay *need*, to meet your grandmother.
