Lesson 2, if you are in a car you are armed! You are aiming one hell of a big projectile, use it! Worry about your children, the animals sure don't, and that's what that mob was animals. I'll give an analogy that to many Freepers will appreciate, would you hold back if it was a Pit Bull attacking your family? Hell no! And this was a mob of rabid dogs.
The children seem to be the sad part. Neither the guy nor the woman seemed to be caring that much about the kids.
I? If I were the dad or even going with a divorcee/widow who had the kids, I’d do something ugly to the yoots, beautiful for the kids.
