Perfect way to handle a bully???? [View all]

If you're an adult.

Clip is from the TV show Louie.

Louie is in a cafe, and a high school kid came up to him,
after he told him and his friends to keep the noise down,
the kid threatens Louie.

I think this is the right way to handle it.

The debate on the youtube message board seems to be split, but
more in favour of Louie.

Thoughts?
