Broke my hand in several places when I was 14 fighting about what someone said. My dad explained to me that a Strong man never gets drawn into a fight over words. And it stuck. At 53 I now understand what he was saying.

But you put me and my family at risk the situation changes. I have not kick anyone’s ass since I was 21 and he threatened me and had it coming. Thought that because he was larger than me he could push me around.

But to me this is beyond the pale. They truly are deplorable.
