[QUOTE="SCV good to go sir., post: 1726828, member: 56200"] How do you know? I found audio of the video: [MEDIA=youtube]Xyr-QJ-9CLs[/MEDIA] I know in my initial post I said the driver went overboard, I want to make it clear that was referring towards his reaction to the dog. As far as his reaction to Mr. PonytailwithmanboobsIthoughtitwasawomanatfirst... The driver is completely in the right. Ponytail stepped towards him with a raised fist. That's intent. The driver is supposed to stand there and let him hit him? Possibly get knocked out and then be at the mercy of a pissed owner with uncontrolled dogs? Who is to the say the dogs won't start following their owner? When the driver stepped towards Ponytail with the shove, he neutralized the situation. Noticed how things didn't escalate after that? Notice how Ponytail suddenly decided he didn't want to fight someone who wasn't scared of him? As for, "he should have stepped back" Before I started driving I was training Muay Thai and I was very serious about it. I feel that it's a misnomer to say that being disciplined in a martial art is going to make you so calm during a fight you'll be completely rational and lucid during the encounter. That's almost as absurd as when I hear people who have never trained in their life tell me what they would do in a fight. "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." Things still happen very fast in a fight, you just learn not to get overwhelmed by it, not too unlike this job at times. I've had people step at me poised to strike since I've started training and in none of those circumstances did I think, "I'm going to step back and then step forward and throw a jab."
