so seeing that the "walk away" doctrine wouldn't have worked in this instance ,you need to teach him to fight ...?........don't get me wrong , i am amazed by the sheer anger in some blokes these days .......in perth a lot of it is down to coke and meth.....there are atrocious things happening on the streets every weekend , people on the edge of losing control at little or no provocation.....why is this...?? so you either take a wellying or you defend yourself to the conclusion and end up getting nicked .......no win situation...
It doesn't justify the violent behaviour at all. However, it seems to me that some people have learnt to develop a perception that other people are threats to them, and carrying out the attack, such as that on Easy One's son and friends, enables them to feel powerful, at least for a few moments as they feel the adrenalin rush.
On a smaller scale, I would wager, Easy One wishing and imagining death by AIDS on the perpetrators also allows him to regain some of the power back from being one-down in the situation.
