Well, when you don’t have a dog, you hunt with a cat, right?
[QUOTE=Scott R. Brown;1112744]Excellent thought!
I went to high school with a guy who was asked to “take it outside” and once they got outside he pulled a straight razor and slit the guy’s throat![/QUOTE]
I’ll bet he went far:rolleyes:

Straight to prison, I think for life!
It was over 30 years ago now!
I think Jackie Chan has given you the answer in the movie, The Karate Kid. lmao
[QUOTE=Scott R. Brown;1112771]Not with a mob! While you are doing that someone will take advantage of your blind spot! I don’t care if they are kids, once they are a mob, they are a deadly weapon intent on doing you bodily harm! That’s makes them fair game for the same![/QUOTE]
Possibly, but when I am dealing with kids, I would rather take more of a risk. I would have to feel as though I were truly in trouble before I would respond with any real force. What I saw on the video was a group of kids. If I were dealing with men. I would take a completely different approach (assuming that I couldn’t just run).
I worked security where we had to deal with gangs beating up other club patrons. The key was to apprehend the leaders which was typically the kid landing the first blow. I agree that there is more of a risk going my route if the only option is to fight, but I would rather do that than seriously hurt a kid. Although, a solid arm lock or a good through isn’t exactly a walk in the park when executed by a man on a boy.
I would say that grabbing the leader is pretty much the same principle.
In your circumstance you are trying to avoid escalating a situation that has not gotten out of control yet!
Even if it does, as security, you have different responsibilities!
The problem with a mob is that because you are surrounded there willl always be a blind side unless you can break the circle. Because of your blind side you are constantly in a vulnerable position, you may not have time to piddle around being nice. The longer you piddle the longer you are vulnerable.
