That said, I really wish I could deliver such beatings. To be an ex-navy SEAL or something just cruising our streets imposing civility with my fists and feet.
Perhaps the next time you try such a stunt, someone will knife you.
Surely being a vigilante and getting violent about an incident that was non-violent to begin with is a much worse crime than resting your arm in the wrong place on a seat.
I don't believe this story. The world is populated with 2 groups of people: those incapable of such vigilantism yet who fantasize about it (such as myself); and those actually capable of it. The latter group tend to get discouraged or institutionalized by the time they're 18 or so. You can get away with stuff maybe 5 times as an adult before the game's up otherwise it would be Lord of the Flies out there.
Anyway, I noticed a new trend. What's with these people (surpisingly, often women) who need to chow down lunch on the subway - I'm talking hotdogs with all the toppings, and pop?
"When somebody is elbowing me in the back and then tells me to F off.... I consider that intimidation and confrontation.
If somebody produced a knife at me, he wouldn't have time to regret the day. He'd be buried the next."
Would a similar fate await anyone who baited you on-line? If so, I apologize in advance because I don't want to be buried just yet. I've a friend recently back from Afghanistan having retired form JTF I'll have to ask him to keep his elbows down on the subway so as not be encounter a burial experience.
I've taken Krav Maga, and other things, out near Dupont & Ossington. Its absolutely the best system I've found. Wish I'd taken it up earlier though.
A funny little story that I can use an example of people not taking shit and confronting offenders: The owner of this new Krav Maga school (my brother's best friend, and growing to becoming a good friend of mine also) was renovating his space in anticipation of the opening this week. He was there well into the night. At some point, he was painting the interior walls and he sees somebody's feet in the stairwell.... and he hears the sound of spraying.... Yes, you guessed it. Some kid was spraying graffiti on his freshly painted walls. Oh oh!
The school owner gave the guy a few hard slaps and made him repaint the walls white. You think the graffiti kid was going to fight back? He ran away with his tail between his legs after cleaning his mess..lol
Note: I use the word "kid" for some snotty nosed guy who acts like he's 12 and thinks he can do what he wants without repercussions. This graffiti kid was probably in his early 20's.
The guy on the streetcar was a wimp who couldn't defend himself against Mary Poppins and her umbrella. Picking him up by the back of his pants and walking him to the door took little effort... specially when I could see the fear in his face when I lifted him up. I stepped down to open the door and ejected him promptly.
Telling someone to fuck off is a non-violent act. Physically attackinga and assaulting someone because they swore at you is a criminal offence. Telling somone to fuck off isn't, it's just plain rude. There's a huge difference.You did notice the part where he was told to F off, didn't you?
