As I mentioned, it was back in my Bad Ole Daze.
This was what I looked like at the time. The idiot had to know what was coming. I would not do anything to initiate a confrontation that might end in gunfire – but in this case I was assaulted by the kid with the dad’s approval. Hopefully the dad learned something – like maybe teaching his kid manners.
Damn, you look like a biker.
I can relate to the situation. There were days when I would have done the same thing, but I'm not proud of it. There was a time when I was a just an angry young man with a whole lot to prove, and unfortunately a lot of people suffered for it.
I grasp what you're saying about the guy. He obviously graduated first in his class from the white-trash school of parenting. What the child did was ugly, and all the uglier that dad obviously had no intentions of correcting him.
However, you still shouldn't have hit him.
