"What you did was wrong. - A bunch of drunk kids? - Leave them alone"

What he did is probably help them learn a lesson on civility.

If you are NOT civil, you may have to pay the consequences. I will guarantee the next time these punks were out they will think twice before acting like a bunch of boors.

Maybe they will all meet in your front yard, then you can enjoy all their crap all by yourself. Your neighbors may have a different opinion.

That's not the point here. The kids were rude, no doubt. But how CJ approached them was wrong. Had he stayed at his table and asked them to hold down the noise, He is within his right to do so. Had one of the kids got up and got in his face after that, the situation would be completely different. CJ would be within his rights to defend himself then, if things escalated.

Wow. That was well said.

You know, I recently sat through a bar fight in a hilton - still had no need to "show".

Just stayed out of the way.
