I understood that. IF he would have at least thrown one punch in self defense, I would be in total agreement with you. He didn’t.
When I was a lot younger (his age, perhaps) a couple of buddies and I were surrounded and attacked by a group of 10 black guys. Yeah, we were on their “turf” so I suppose we were “asking for it” as the cops later told us. We got our keisters kicked, no question. But. We did manage to put a pretty good hurting on a couple of them before it was all said and done. I got hit in the head with a tire iron(?) which took me out of action with a concussion and required several stitches but we survived it.
I just can’t see going down without a fight. That thought is repulsive to me.
I agree with that point. Is always to make those who attack “sorry”.
