I mean, you’re going to get help if it goes badly.

The bystander effect. You’d do what almost everyone else would do… nothing active.
We would all like to think we would try and take someone down, the reality is we all almost certainly wouldn’t.

Not necessarily true, Ive stepped in the middle of a row and intervened when a drunken stranger was getting lairy with his missus at a wedding despite the risk that it may cause a scene.
If Id been in that airport (where hes almost guaranteed not to be armed) and the dude starts swedging Id have a go. Best case scenario get behind him lock him up and put him to sleep, failing that punch him in the neck and kick him in the balls, worst case just pile on him and hope everyone else does the same

That’s who it is! I spent so long trying to figure it out before I read your comment, couldn’t think, and then there it was all along.

I’ve only got involved once and in hindsight, it was pointless but also rad actually. Window shopping with my missus and two tracksuits ran into Burberry and ran back out a few seconds later with about ten grand of handbags. One jumped on a bike and the other did a runner through the city centre. I ran after the one on foot and followed him for ages til we were both knackered and he was shouting at me to stop chasing him cos he was tired. Then an off duty copper dived on top of him like when Renton gets taken down in Trainspotting in front of the car. So with him already completely and professionally restrained I bravely joined in, doing that leg lock thing you used to see on ITV Saturday afternoon wrestling. The real police took ages to come and he was struggling like anything. He had the biggest snotter I’ve ever seen hanging out his nose (he smelled like a smack head) which billowed in the nasal wind everytime he breathed in and out. Like a little mucus kite. Eventually these two chubby coppers turned up, with McD burgers in their cargo pants pockets. We’d interrupted their tea.I gave a statement and got a £100 voucher from Burberry who also paid the parking fine I got for being late back to the car. It did turn out he had a Stanley knife in his pocket when they searched him properly. Wouldn’t do it again for a corporations property but would to help out someone getting hurt.
Defo not in airport, which has paid and trained armed security.

Very brave, bravo! Although the voucher is the equivalent of getting one for Tesco’s for 0.01p

Yep it really only set me up to spend an extra £200 I wasn’t planning to, so she could get a super basic bag in their sale.

Junkies usually only carry blades for getting security tags off gear, doubt he’d have started waving it around at you. That snot bubble sounds absolutely rank though.
I mean she was on his fucking roof! Imagine if that was your Merc @Mick_Richards
I’m amazed he just didn’t floor it instead.
Flooring it would probably kill her. He’s pretty lucky she didn’t smack her head, that would be no joke.
Basically don’t fuck with people’s cars, you can expect to get lamped.

Not really a car to get worked up about though is it? Bit strong from him.

I’m waiting for BDF’s advice in that situation.

Has someone already rammed into his back seat door too? Now his roof is dented in. He’s not having the best of luck is he? No need to be swiping at her but also no need to be dancing on people’s cars.

Wheelspin. Peel off at about 40. That should do it
