Kids taught to fight back and it's re-inforced in their teens by parents AND law enforcement who

conduct protection classes at the schools. You prefer that a 17yo NOT protect themself as taught when approached by an adult stranger?

Gee, Snake, where do YOU draw the line? You have to pretend that the kid holding the phone approached and assaulted the hulking adult. You'd think Mr Wannabe policeman would have said "Don't come near me or I'll shoot" at the skinny kid who was chasing him and assaulting him.

Some reach you need to have there, Snake. I've seen a whole pack of social media moonies are out and about trying to make the exact same case as you. None have shown an ounce of logic in their claims.
