One has to laugh at the stupidity of two 'yobs' (young thugs, hooligans) in England, who chose entirely the wrong targets for their aggression.
TWO drunken yobs tried to start a fight with three strangers - who turned out to be the military's most decorated hard men.
The thugs, who had a Staffordshire bull terrier with them, got a surprise comeuppance after hurling abuse at the smartly-suited trio in a street.
They had no idea their intended "victims" were a hero Royal Marine, an Army captain and a VC-winning SAS hero.
The louts pushed and shoved the three men, attempting to provoke them into a punch-up.
After ignoring polite advice to "walk away" they suddenly found themselves on their backs while their vicious-looking dog fled yelping.

I'd have loved to hear the whining and complaints uttered by the battered yobs as they staggered off . . .

There are still some real men in the Empire (along with a disproportionate number of brutish louts).
ReplyDeleteWill the soldiers be charged with assault? Sadly, not unprecedented in today's UK.
ReplyDeleteI loved the article--but I felt strongly enough about the unnecessary negative portrayal of their Staffordshire Bull Terrier (who there was no reason to mention at all, less yet to describe it as "vicious-looking", before it ran off yelping) that I wrote a letter to their editor.
ReplyDeleteYeah, given that my entire experience of Staffies is lunkheaded love bugs who are excellent with children (and likely would flee from a sudden violent confrontation), that knotted my eyebrows a bit too.
ReplyDeleteLOL- Drunk AND stupid... Lucky they were able to walk away...
ReplyDeleteThat they walked away is likely the conscious choice of those they attacked.
