My partners tells a story and it goes like this... One Christmas he was walking down a busy city street in Sydney with a mate when 5 guys (obviously sailors) were walking towards them. No one parted and the 5 just tried to shoulder my partner and his friend out of the way...thinking we're tough, no-one will take on 5 guys.
My partner and his mate turned and asked the guys what is their problem. They naturally wanted to fight. My partner was a boxer and happy to have a go, but his mate said no, leave it too me and only help if it was needed. He challenged the toughs 2 at a time. They happily obliged. It took 5 punches, 1 each to knock-out each tough guy.
When the police came, they asked what happened. My partner told them they were attacked. But, the police said what happened? The moral to the story was that my partner's mate was the #1 ranked heavyweight professional boxer of Australia. The police dragged the 5 away for creating a disturbance. In this day and age, it pays to learn self defence from a young age. The world has got aggressive and madder by the decade. If you haven't learnt yourself, at least get your children taught.
In the situation at the petrol pump, if the big guy didn't come along...to quote your words 'I'd be dead'. At least they could have said afterwoods. Gee, that fagg put up a good fight.
