My wife and I were driving home from a gig and saw and old man (late 70's) fall over and smack his head-cutting himself. I pulled the car over, put on the hazzard lights and we both helped him up and steadied him home. On the way a squad car with two police pulled over and asked us were we alright-the old man told the police we were trying to rob him! WTF!!!
I walked closer, and as the man threw his daughter to the ground he turned his focus solely on these women. He struck one of them so hard she hit the ground like she died. As he cocked his arm back to hit the other woman, I grabbed it and spun around his back to face him. Without hesitation he swung at me. I side stepped his blow and cracked my glass bottle of iced tea, that I just bought, over the front of his face. He fell to the ground unconscious.
I walked up, he swung, I moved, my hand came up and met his face, and end of story.
And I have no problem admitting defeat, I have enough scars and broken bones to speak for themselves. I was lucky, that's it.
I noticed a group of four or five men just standing there watching it unfold as if it was entertaining to them. Or maybe they were too scared to do anything.
Right now the natural chaos of a jungle seems so more appealing than this contrived jungle of insanity that we have created for ourselves. There is no natural order here. Everything is contrived out of a desire for immediate gratification for the few. We think laws, policies, and enforcement through the police and military, will bring us order and peace? Is this what we are placing our faith in the future on? Please, save me the laughter. While parents play act like "good law abiding citizens", the government educates their kids and corporations entertain them. Both have no interest other than to fatten their own pockets and empower themselves.

What are you WTFing about?
He had a head injury. And you didn't drive him to the hospital or call him an ambulance.
What a goddamn hero you are.

This is why I have deliberately avoided even attempting to learn any form of martial art. There are far too many people within contemporary society, who I would not be able to resist the temptation to use it on.
As for why it keeps happening; it happens because between 4-7% of the human population are psychopaths. They are literally demons in human form. They look like us, and sound like us, but they are not us. They don't feel pity, remorse, or empathy; sometimes they don't even feel fear.
Our reaction to them should be to identify them, expose them, and then euthanise them like the sick animals they are. Instead, however, we allow them to become our rulers, and the literal architects of our society.

Did you miss the part where the old man accused them of trying to rob him? The ungrateful old man deserved to be left where he was at. Also with the police there they can call an ambulance for him.
