If there was a god, they would empower someone with this thought.
this would be a prank that would be done.

Again, proof that god is does not around today.

best example I can think of:

having the car door crush your hand, then having that hand and fingers caught and crushed in your 10-speed bike gears.

that's about as near to extremes pain I can think of.

since those 2 things have happen to me, it might help set a measurement. it's that slow build up of pain that blows up like a cork

lack of good manners
lack of good science education
and the lack of great English debating skills.

my favorite quipping that makes me smile is

Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.

Point of order:

Asking an uncomfortable question vs. being an asshole are 2 things that might be similar
One is done with consent, the discussion is fair grounds for uncomfortable questions.
The approaching an innocent person to convey harassments is not fair.

I actually know someone that walked over a dying man to get a trade done of the floor of the NYSE. 1987, day of the crash, a specialist had a heart attack, my buddy was performing the mouth to mouth and I was taking turns doing CPR. someone placed his hand on my head and leaped over the body. We worked on the guy till the ambulance came. Then we found out who did dirty and made sure that everyone on the floor new. The guy never got a good fill again.

let's lay some basic notes to make the discussion equal in the knowledge.

This is the concept of the prank I fear:

Notes:
it seems dark with very few escape routes just the entrance and exits to a garage.
Anyone can think that might be real because people want to play dress up, and people love to imitate movies.
The clown strikes the head ( when observed via film it looks dumb )
Then the clown starts doing the chase.

Don't know about you, this is enough proof for me that someone is going to
harm me. I don't think I could flee fast enough, 3 to 9 into the body to slow them
down and hope that every thing I've taught myself and learned pays off.

This is a basic concept of a fear I have. a joke going wrong.

only because Darwinism does not work fast enough here. LOL

you asked "why are you encouraging physically scarring people for life on their face for being annoying"
I will explain:

We have a provocation situation where the antagonist try's to interfere with the guy and his girl.

First my key point was the phrase : " If you really have truthful masculinity, then the proper action is to look at your girl then back at him and then start laughing"

it's a very simple solution, with care and humor, to tell the offender to move out of the way or stop his actions. Truthful masculinity = Being a man is knowing you have not played any games on your significant other ( could be a guy also or whatever gender ), have full trust in the woman ( in this case ) you are with, because otherwise, why would you even be with her, and you are supportive of each other.

"guy persist"

Then the guy has now escalated the issue into a problem. He was given fair room to halt his actions. He choose to continue and provoke. he choose to offend. he now must choose to flight or flee. I prefer to look at the situation where a simple non-lethal attack will make guy back away till the police arrive.

Not the best action, but box cutters are not illegal in many states, and once a person get's cut, they move away fast. You need to call the cops asap because running away might be thought of as a guilty thing in most cops views.

The entire situation is a provocation, you expect some privacy, the law says not much, the law does tilt slightly in your favor that the expectation of privacy in a public place and you are not famous or known. A normal person can reasonably expect not to be stalked or harassed when doing daily items outside of the home. it seems that there is enough case law about this. basically a line is drawn and the blond kid crossed it.

it's amazing how polarized my statements are taken :

A) Florida is in the USA. The USA for all accounts, is considered a first world country.
B) Practice lethal force to "feel safe". I never said that, nor implied it. I practice to know
how to use my weapon and have used it when a robbery happened.
C) It's a specific mention that while I do practice consistently, I don't carry except
for a limited amount of time within a year when required.
D) There is a specific moment when I don't think my practice would apply and I would
shoot first and that was specifically mentioned. Fear has it's own situation and It's
carefully mentioned.

Accidental discharge while roughhousing when I was in my 20's
Bear mace ( the fog spray type ) put me down so fast that the ambulance
was called. The physical pain was beyond whatever I could imagine. And
I am sure I could not breathe.

Keychain mace is not as bad, you have time to get dishwashing soap and
cover yourself. rinse 4 or 5 times and you'll feel better asap. had that
happen in the car once, a i got it all over my pants and arm and hand.

had to higher a pro to clean the car LOL

Hi, thanks for your comments:

It's interesting how people perceive being armed, having it on you for a certain
time of the year, practicing to avoid error using your weapon and having a very
specific fear makes people think it's :

A) dick problem
B) manliness problem
C) being foolish.
D) part of the problem

Those who have seen and experienced violence understand how quickly people
die. While not common in the USA, it seems to be my karma to have it happen
around me. I don't want to be one of those. While I have not seen what you have
mentioned, I have seen horrible acts of violence for no other apparent reason of
the person being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I might be part of the problem, yet when it has happened, no one has ever
said, "gee, maybe we could have talked it out with her/him".

I would think that if more people practiced with the weapon of choice, they
would come to realize how much you do fear pulling out your weapon against
someone, because as someone said above "the bullet won't change it's
direction because you have second thoughts".

There is a good reason why martial artist practice, because you need to
learn when not to act. I just pointed out where my only momentary line might
be crossed.

I believe the difference is that someone being forced into the perspective vs. being paid and part of the perspective of the action. I myself and a few friends have accidently been in movies for entire scenes without pay. We were also on park bench's in NYC in central park having conversation and focused on ourselves. We were never the focus of the camera, I do find it funny that my friend is in "Kiss Me, Guido" and literally body blocks the actor and keeps walking and cursing.

I think this might fall under "Reasonable expectations of reasonable people" for the guy and the girl. and the interviewer broke the 4th.

You need to redefine the question:

This is not sexual harassment. Harassment yes, asshole move yes but
combo of sexual and harass, nah..

It's a woman being hit on, in front of her boyfriend in a most obvious way.
and while not legal to hit the guy in the jaw, it feels justified to break a
bottle across the cheek of the guy. a scar for life for being an asshole, this
is why you should carry a box cutter.

If you really have truthful masculinity, then the proper action is to look at your
girl then back at him and then start laughing. guy persist, then cut him up like
a prison fight.

I do know, and you are right, you have about 5 to 15 extra seconds or more with pepper spray than with bear mace.
