I'm getting MATI by these fuckers' flaccid arguments about self-defense. I cannot tell if they honestly believe what they're saying or if they're playing into spectators' lack of knowledge on how physical altercations work.
I've been in situations where I've seen 6'4" Rugby players submit to 5 foot nothing skinny rats, for no reason other than plain primeval fear. Yeah they could have swatted him down like a fly. But a 6'4" Brick Shithouse who has a few mates with him (who also acquiesce) is not used to some runt of the litter coming right up to their face and staring them out. They don't exactly shit themselves, but a primordial instinct kicks in.
It all starts running through your mind. Is he mad? Does he have a knife? Fuck, it might be Bongistan, but does the fucker have a gun?
Rat boy knows how far to push it, and when he has made the big boys submit out of nothing else than good old fashioned 'fear', he lets off the gas and goes back to drinking in his corner of the pub. People are unsettled.
And I've been in almost identical situations with pikeys who had a rep, and not even a team of the pub hardmen fancied their chances, not because they couldn't have squashed the guy on the spot, but because they knew the repurcussions of doing so. But they were waiting and watching and primed, and anything more than bravado and points scoring would have been dealt with with deadly (or almost deadly) force.
These guys who cause trouble always know when to back off. They get away with it because it is a practiced art for them to prove themselves as men. They also know exactly when and where and who to pick these arguments with. Funny that.
Rosenborg the manlet had this down to a fine art. I've seen that bluster a million times before: impotent rage. But all the same, that is a rage you need to take very fucking seriously, because conversely, sometimes these people really are suicidal and do mean genuine harm, to themselves or others. Kyle picked up on that.
That kind of bluster is very different to psyching out Rugby players in pubs when you are pissed up, like begby from trainspotting. Even if the guy doesn't have a gun or a knife, he can pick up a glass.
Rosenbaum the pedo's actions were full of suicidal ideation that night, and that nigger got every thing he wished for, and then a bit more. I'm a bad man, I know, but seeing the last moments of his life where he realises he has been shot, but doesn't really know what the fuck is going on, and he's losing it, losing consciousness, and he just about realises this is the end for him. Sweet nectar to me. No fucks given.
Kyle did nothing wrong.
