Hi Scaly Repox,

So how was Bolt not to know that he wasn't being hit with acid ? Some Korean poison ? What would you do, wait until you've ascertained that it was, slapped the thug on the back, and said, "Jolly good trick, old chap."

Or do you react sensibly, i.e. as a quick as you can, especially when a second thug steps in ? How many more are there, you may think. Are they Islamist terrorists or worse, elderly homosexual marriage advocates ?

Perhaps you're right, Bolt should have said, "Look, fellas, let's sit down together to a nice Soy-Lite-Kale-Smoothie and discuss like people do on the 'Left' ? My shout."

Because usually the Left are so civil and sensible, or have I got that wrong ?

By the way, Steal, it's called 'assault'. One has the right to defend oneself reasonably, if one is being assaulted.

Tell your mates to be a bit more careful next time. And wear nut-protectors

Dear Loudmouth,

Lol.

Ah mate, you really don't do this macho stuff well do you. I don't think it is in your nature, which isn't a bad thing but it does make attempts to appear pugnacious a little silly and rather childish.

Now have you viewed the video yet? Just like the Rabbit Proof Fence reviewing the evidence before spouting is advisable.

Here is a link;

Let me know if you think the sequence of events are different to what I have said.

Wow ! I hadn't seen the video before: anybody with half a brain would do what Bolt did. How was he to know - the way he looks around at the end of the video at the bloke coming up to him - how many are involved ? What weapons have they got ? How is he to know what has been thrown on him ?

After all, he's not to know that they're just a couple of anarchist or Trot dick-brains - he's not familiar with the Left these days.

Would you really act any differently to Bolt if you were attacked/assaulted/whatever? by strangers ?

Joyce got off lightly with just a cream pie.

Mmmmmmm ..... cream pie ...... yum.

SteeleRedux would have repelled them with instant diarrhoea.

Sh(bleep) happens.

They look like they were going to have another go at their victim, but slink away when another brave older gent arrives to even up the odds.
