Just another example of lack of discipline in our education system where the young are not taught any respect for others and in fact are encouraged in "self expression". I would have got up and said something to the teenagers. However, I would also never have gone to ANY Macdonald's in the first place......and probably one reason why I have become misanthropic!

My mother recently stopped a fight at a McDonalds, a group of kids were acting up, a middle aged guy told them to knock it off, they gave him a mouth full of cheek so he went out to his car and came back in carrying a pinch bar held out of sight behind his back.
The kids couldn't see what was about to happen and my 68 year old Mum did so she stepped in front of the guy and said very loudly " Call the Police, this man has a weapon and he's going to bash these kids!".
He threatened her with the bar, Mum spent 14 years as a prison officer so she's not easily rattled and by this time the group of kids had decided to make a run for the door, they got out alright but the older guy followed them to the car park and Mum didn't go after them.

Seeing that this thread is about the conduct of young people, as was the thread about manners, I thought this link may be of interest.

Parenting is certainly not easy.

Jo9m: my 68 year old Mum did so she stepped in front of the guy and said very loudly " Call the Police, this man has a weapon and he's going to bash these kids!".

This is the very reason we have unruly bad mannered kids. Too many Do-gooders protecting them. I guess you were one of them.

Jayb,
Yeah, as a parent I recommend every child have their skull fractured by a short tempered adult in order to build character...ya nong.
My stepfather was there as well, if he'd stepped in the guy would have given him a hiding, my Mum worked in men's prisons including a stint at Pentridge she knows most crims, even violent ones won't usually bash a little old lady. Needless to say we asked that she not do it again.
