Why do you think I am scrawny?
When it happens in cycling, I set my bike down where it won't get damaged and I grab the guy through the car door and drag him through it and throw him on the ground and stand over him with my cleats and I tell him, "You can either say sorry and get back in your car, or your wife can watch me beat you bloody."
If they give me any garbage, I don't beat them up, I grab the keys from the ignition and throw them in the gutter. If they initiated the problem by yelling at you, or swerving at you, the Prosecutor will side with you and advise them to not press charges. They will never win in court if they initiated the problem. I have been through this five times (with the Prosecutor). The wife is usually screaming and calling the police at this point and they are usually so embarrassed that they caused a problem that they go looking for the keys and say they were wrong and slink back in to the car.
I can usually beat someone who is 180-240 lbs ... 90% of the time they are intimidated that someone wouldn't take their crap. If they are much bigger than that, they are just too fat and slow to hurt me, I wouldn't let someone like that get close enough to hurt me. You just stay on your bike and mock them.
Wow, that's heart breaking. You must have gotten beaten up a lot as a kid. That much fear, anger and self-delusion must be tough to deal with as an adult. It sounds like you've able to use the internet to role play and help in the self healing processing, and good for you. This is a safe space so please feel comfortable to continue to heal however necessary here on LRC.
