July 1974 in Biloxi I can tell you that the guy that spit on me got a fist in return and I got tossed from the bar.

I was "saved" by an Atlanta cop in the airport who saw the whole thing and quickly moved in and told me he would handle the scum and told me to walk on. When I looked back, he had thrown the scum up against the wall, spread him and doing the rough pat-down thing. I, like you, was ready to cold-cock the SOB before the cop quickly jumped in. Probably saved me from doing time in the GA state pen, because my aim was to beat the every loving life out of the SOB.
