Gee it makes my reaction to an attempted robbery, look violent by comparison. When 2 youths approached me and told me to give them my purse or they would kick me in the teeth, I told them, 'try to take it and I'll kick you in the teeth and walked on and they stood with mouths open in shock.
I think this man acted far better than I did.
Even I was shocked at how I reacted.
