Sorry, not very Christian of me......but I’d feed the sumbitch that club and dare the cops to do a damned thing about it.
Same here, one of the two of us would have been spending the night in the hospital because when a guy comes at me with a bat, knife, gun etc. the instinct kicks in and my flight option never did work very well.

There is nothing un-Christian about defending yourself. I’m an abolitionist because I believe in the sanctity of life, particularly unborn life which by definition is completely innocent. That said, I have no problem with the use of force, even deadly force, for self-defense.
Turning the other cheek assumes receipt of a smite on the cheek. It does not assume that you’re being clubbed, shot, or stabbed.
