Down at the local boat ramp... drunk 22 yo decided to spit into my then 16 yo's face. Have to understand, my kid is pretty stout, HS varsity wrestler in 7/8th grade, football/basball/athlete. My kid immediately poked this Pogue directly in the nose and knocked him lights out.

Mamma had to come get said Pogue - and didn't even have an issue that my 16 yo knocked him out.

I personally would have gone after the parents in this case. My boys would have probably gone after the kid AND the parents. They were raised not to tolerate this crap - and won't!
