Growing up in North Philly, circa 70s, I learned real fast to use my fists. And anything that happened to be laying around if the situation deteriorated further.
I have zero understanding of ANYONE standing there taking a sucker punch to the face and just letting the other guy walk away with his gonads still attached and intact.
Yep, I understand that, I grew up in the country but learned quickly the difference between a slap on the cheek
by a friend and an enemy.
