You don't need to avoid only this aggression. You need to make the guy regret trying the stunt at first place - otherwise, he will do it again, and will be better prepared. 1 hour ago, Sorabh said: Grab the collar of his shirt and shake him up. Twist his arm, gently, so that you only cause minimal pain. (you twist his arm too much, and a bruise might form, and you could be implicated).Remind him that he is not that special, and outside the school premises, it would be open season for him. The vaguer the threat, the better the impact on his psyche. Um, guys, you do realize we're talking about, like, an elementary school right? I'm all for threatening the guy, but there comes a point where your violence towards him will go beyond self-defense and things will get personal. Right now, as far as I can tell, the guy did what he did simply because @The_Cat_In_Space was in the right place at the right time. The assailant probably expects you to defend yourself in some physical way, but if you do something excessive, he'll feel the need to reciprocate in turn. You don't want things to escalate like that, especially with someone who is evidently deluded Edited August 1, 2018 by Earthlinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Guys, it's time allow school officials, parents, and/or police deal with this situation and get back to talking about funny and interesting occurences. Calls for retaliatory violence are unwise and may have legal ramifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And our colleague was beaten down to the ground and kicked in the stomach (had this happened after lunch, our friend could had a stomach rupture). It's already on the next level. It's already a police case. In a way or another, the very first thing he must do is ask for help from his parents (as I said below). And watch himself, because that kid is acting with criminal intent, has managed to beaten him down once and will do it again if he can. Sorry to tell this, but that kid is a sociopath. You don't reason with sociopaths. And yeah, I'm done with this. The message was already sent, and I think we stressed it too much already. @Vanamonde , I will not talk about this again.

I remember, right after I got married, my wife noticed that I had a black mole on my shoulder. She was very worried about it, and kept nagging me to go see the doctor. So finally I relented and went to see the doctor. At that point my doctor had been my primary care for over 20 years, but I hadn't seen him in at least seven. He comes into the exam room and says, "Hey! Haven't seen you in forever! What's new?" I said, "Well, I just got married." He says, "That's great! You know, married guys live longer, their wives nag them to go see the doctor when they don't want to. So what brings you here?" I said, "Funny you should mention it...." So, congratulations on the extended lifespan! Edit: And my wife, reading over my shoulder, points out: "Yeah, and if I hadn't nagged you to go see the doctor four years ago you'd be taking a dirt nap now! So quit ya poodlein'!" I love that woman. Edited August 2, 2018 by TheSaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piatzin Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 So I've seen a bunch of Tesla cars since moving to Norway (yeah apparently my parents have a thing with working in Scandinavia. First Sweden, then Finland, and now a small town near Oslo ). In the past two weeks, I've seen eight. My next door neighbor has a Model S, and a few days ago I saw two identical grey S's right next to each other on the highway. Needless to say, my approval rating of Norway has gone up with every sighting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Tesla I've ever actually noticed up close was a model 3 (Or X, it was a very brief encounter, I have a picture somewhere though) In Liechtenstein of all places.

I was walking toward the bridge that would lead me towards the parking lot(eventually) when I felt something hit my shoulder. I thought it was a bug, so I slapped it. Turns out a bird had pooped on my shoulder. It was surprisingly orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
