Kids these days..

Ignored them probably.

I'm sure nobody here would admit to beating the crap of a 12 year olds even if it was a hypothetical question.

You could have tried to scare them I guess, I can't imagine that working well unless your quite intimidating. :D

Not intimidating at all but I doubt that saves you from charges if you so much as clipped one round the head.

The best I could think of was taking the bike off him and telling him where I live when his parents want to get the bike back and discuss why I took it. Would have ended with bricks through the window probably.

I know life is too short for this, but if everyone takes the stance of apathy....
 
Buy a dashcam. That way, next time you can quickly unplug it, whirl it round your head by the power cable and launch it at them like a bolas. Hopefully it will become entangled in their spokes or pedals or GODAMN NECK... or something.
 
Grumpy old man hat firmly applied for this one...

Yesterday I was with the gf driving home, me as the passenger, steadily going along the main road when a couple of yoofs shoot out from a side street with nary a look or glance and were only not knocked off their bikes by the lady slamming on.

It seems to be just me but I've read this a couple of times and still can't work out what happened, is it me or does this not make sense?
 
Other day in a shopping g center kids went nuts and guards ran after them and the main one ran into a clear glass door ...knocked himself out ....was more funny the second time on playback
 
what can you do if they are aged around 11 ? - you just ignore them

if they are 18+ well that's a different matter and that's why we have fists :)

If you have to use your fists because someone said something mean about you you really need to check your anger levels.
 
I'd have laughed at the insult and carried on my merry way.

Seriously this gets you that riled up, a bunch of kids doing stupid stuff.
 
It was probably more due to the situation.

They just did an emergency stop to narrowly avoid running over a couple of kids. Adrenaline would be up straight away and then the cheeky sods had the the nerve to mouth off.

We've all done silly things in the heat of the moment.

Pretty much this, and when the abuse was aimed at my partner you tend to get a bit more protective. Ten minutes later when I'd calmed down I realised just how pointless chasing them really was. Only reason for post was curiosity as to what you can/can't do these days.

BTW I thought using the term pregnant goldfish might have been the polite and within forum rules way of putting across the actual word used :p
 
Unfortunately, that's just how most of them are brought up these days :(

Better off leaving them to it as catching them would probably only get you knifed or your car keyed later on.
