I have to respect the guy.
I wasn’t even there, just watching it, and I felt like it would have been appropriate to give the guy a gentle kick in the right side of his face while he had him down, just for making me spike my adrenaline. (That would have been very, very bad to do, I admit, but I would have felt the pull to do that anyway. Good thing he didn’t.)
The fact that he didn’t tells me something. I agree with Desert Rhino, there was something that really got my dander up watching him prance down the road with the pipe in his hands...something punk-like.
It wasn’t the first time the kid had ever had a gun pulled on him, he knew exactly what to do get on the ground with his hands behind his head.
Too bad the guy didn’t take the pipe and beat all the windows out the kids car.
