Loyal to the end
I agree.
Plus while the "younger crowd" is thinking about just kicking some guys ass; there are older people out there that are thinking about what the fastest way to end the conflict.
Break some guys leg and he's going to stop fighting.
Same with snapping a finger, breaking an arm, a short jab to the throat, etc.
I had someone give me a little information, years ago, and I might not be accurate with some of the figures; but the human hand can exert 32 lbs of preassure per square inch. It only takes 8 lbs of preassure to rip a human ear off. Peels off, just like paper.
That reminds me of another funny story. My Dad was waiting at the luggage turnstile at Logan airport after a business trip, and he spots his bag coming towards him, but before it gets to him some guy about ten feet away picks it up and starts walking off with it. So he starts off after the guy and says "excuse me, but that's my bag", and the guy turns around and tells him "no it isn't" and keeps walking. So Dad keeps after him and asks him to look at the tag and the guy tells him to go to hell. So then Dad grabs the handle which of course sops the guy dead in his tracks and he shows him the tag and says "see, that's my name". They guy then lets go, takes a step back then leans forward and pits his middle finger about a foot from Dad's face. Instinctively he grabbed the guy's finger and squeezed it, and it broke.
So now the guy's screaming and calling for security, and Boston cop comes over and asks what the problem was. The guy tells him and the cop looked my Dad who was in his early 60's at the time and then the guy who was much younger and said that it seems like he deserved what he got.
