Yes, but why did it happen? What's the reason behind it?
It's bloody good that he restrained himself only because he was being filmed?
I don't know why it happened but my initial thought (knowing how chavs act) would be a scenario such as, bunch of chavs call guy names etc to goad him, he ignores them and they follow him home, he still ignores them and goes into his home and then Les (head chav) kicks his door in and gives it the big one.
I know we're not in the USA but over there you can defend your home with a gun if someone breaks in and your life, and the lives of your family members feel threatened.
I'm no keyboard warrior / tough guy but I have lived on council estates, some rough, in my time and that chav got less than he deserved so the presence of cameras saved him a real good hiding. I mean, he only got punched to the ground, I wonder what he planned to do to karate guy, and then to karate guys family?
I really do find it hard to have any kind of empathy for Les the local hardnut chav.
It just begs the question what would we think if the chav had floored karate guy, and then his little chav buddies jumped over to join in and one bad kick to the head killed the guy and then they ran into his home and raped his wife.
When is it appropriate to defend ourselves and our homes with force?
Violence isn't nice, or cool and more often than not there are better solutions to problems, I just don't see another way out of this situation for karate guy.
Do you?
