I know, right? Everyone is so "big and bad" behind a computer monitor. It would suck for them to approach one (or both) of the guys and get their asses beat or better yet, killed. I can promise you that if I had some strange person run up on me trying to fight, I wouldn't hesitate to put him to the ground as soon as possible (whether he gets there because I knock him down or whether he is on the ground because I am holding him at gunpoint and calling the cops doesn't matter to me). I wouldn't even think twice. Keeping myself safe is more important to me at that point. On top of that, they will go to jail for assault and perhaps get a criminal record that will fuck them for a long time.

People just don't think at times...
