Welcome to Gaia! ::

If you're in that sort of situation....why bother hitting? You should just run and NOT risk coppin' a beating from his buddies.

Depends entirely on the situation. You've really got to be able to think on your feet and had some pressure testing to stop yourself from doing anything stupid.

When you say being jumped I asume that means that it's to late to use avoidance. If I did have the option of aviodance i'd be breaking the land speed record.

If it's a small group of street punks then it'll be a case of smash the ******** out of everything that moves. Then escape.

If they were more organised than that it would be a serious case of making my self out to be a lunatic, screaming, spitting and laying into the first guy and repeatidly stamping while praying the rest don't come forward. I they do then hit every thing that moves and if i survive make a few phone calls and arrange multiple house visits.

If my girl friend is with me then that changes everything, just get out any way possible even if it means that she runs off with my mobile and makes calls while i've got to deal the best i can. Either way, house visits.

There are lots of ways to rattle somebody and his mates one such way is as above. If you can take away their sense of security in the place they should feel most safe (for example, their own home) then you'll leave a message saying that you are not to be ******** with. Nothing says i love you more than waking up to see a group of angry blokes in your bedroom at 3:00 in the morning.

There are many other ways but i'm not going into them here.

And the end of the day if you're switched on at all times and you don't ******** about in gangs you shouldn't get jumped. Always be aware of your surroundings and never take that shortcut home down that long ally way or areas that are notorious for being a hang out spots for groups of arseholes.

Maybe, but i'd rather be in trouble with the cops than dead.

[quote="CelestialDreamz] I was just wondering if it would be possible to use the claim of intimidation as an excuse for excessively beating someone. (Kind of like beating the crap out of one person, instead of knocking out all of them.)

Can you rephrase, I didn't quite get that.

No, if I told an officer that I would be in the s**t. I leave that detail out.

All I would say is that I was out numbered and used reasonible force to remedy the situation. If it was in a public I wouldn't stamp but if it wasn't in public then the gloves are off.

You don't have to stamp on his head. You could do it on his ribs (more effective in terms of damage) but nothing sends the messsage 'don't ********' better than when they see their friends head bounce off the concrete. A more heathly alternative would be to stamp on the back of his ankles (if it's practical at the time), that sweet snapping noise is more than enough of a deterant.

So where would you stomp a guy that you got unto the ground?
Usually people just crawl up and cover their heads and pulls up their legs, so all the soft spots are pretty much covered

Yeah, if they are curled up and are no longer a threat then it all depends on how pissed off you are and what the current situation is (witnesses and friends etc) if you are that way inclined then you can always take a piss on them to demoralise them. Not that I would but I know people that tend to do it when they've knocked somebody out and in one instance take a s**t on them, and that was one of my instructors...........

But then again the piece of s**t really did deserve it (excuse the pun).
