I don't think that would fly with me. I wouldn't shoot the little bastards, but I damn sure throw em a beating. I am pretty big guy, I don't think they would try it with me. From the videos I've seen all the victims look weak.

if you want to send me into a blind rage.... slap the back of my head. i can take just about any kind of abuse dished out to me, but you slap the back of my head and all of my senses go out the window.

Let's see. Assaulting a person in a country where it's ok for you to defend yourself even against a juvenile. this is going to end up with some kid getting killed.

Rooster, I'm with you. I'm about as laid back as they come, but pop me on the back of the head and it takes all of my self-control to keep from pummeling them.

Here in TN (according to my CCW instructor and the video we saw), a blow to the head is considered "lethal force" and sufficient reason to pop somebody. Not sure such an act would really be considered "lethal force" in reality, but it will be interesting to see if any stories arise of somebody getting shot or at least drawn upon after such an incident.

Serve them right to get shot, as far as I'm concerned. "Stupid is as stupid does." (Forest Gump)

Those Brits are some crazy bastards. Although, I will admit those videos are funny. But yeah, if that does start over here, someone will be killed because of it.

That is the quickest way to have someone (or at least me) beat the crap out of you.

If someone did that to me I would put my whole hand up their ass.

I cannot abide strangers who violate my personal space. I can see how this is catching on in Europe though. The last time I was there, I thought some people were going to try and share a pair of pants with me they were so close. Personal Bubbles in Europe are non-existent.
