“I hate to say it, but you don’t tell young, black males what to do. Especially after they’ve just finished a beer”
Whoa Dude! That’s exactly the WRONG idea. Tucking tail and whimpering away does NEVER fix the situation, it only makes it worse.
Try this: stare the puke right in his eyes, and NEVER, EVER, EVER let him get behind you, even if you have to stop and turn circles while he tries.
But NEVER lose eye contact. You will be surprised just how many of these bold punks turn to jelly when you whip your best jail house out of your back pocket and DON’T BACK DOWN.
I’m an old guy, but attitude is a game changer. I may go down, but the punk is gonna pay more for a beat down on this old fart than he ever thought possible. Even a stupid drunk punk will pick up on stare and attitude real fast.

As an RN, on the way home one night from the hospital, I stopped at an accident between 2 semi-trucks. I was first on the scene. In my best nurse/mom, “I’m in charge here,” I stood in the road and demanded the one trucker give me his flashlight. He tried, “no, it’s mine.” I stared him down and continued demanding. He sheepishly gave it up. It was only later it occurred to me, and made me weak in the knees, he was a young, black man at least twice my size. My attitude of authority made him compliant. I doubt I would have tried that if it wasn’t an emergency and I wasn’t on nurse auto-pilot. lol. It was a good lesson.
Sandra Bullock to a punk in Blindside, “If you so much as set foot downtown, you will be sorry. I’m in a prayer group with the D.A., I’m a member of the NRA and I’m always packing.”
I couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve AVOIDED more scraps with the infamous stare. I never call the guy backing down a p***y, I give him an out. All but one time, it worked.
