Thomas never answered the call-out, but his boys sure did... and then he pushes some (allegedly) AFTER they turn away?? If that's true then THOMAS IS A PUNK... end of discussion. So you go balls to the wall at a Drift event, and you BOTH end up in jail. I like my fights to end when I want them to, when you're knocked the fuck out or wondering why I am 6 feet away but you still can't breathe, and can't figure out for the life of you why you have an apple-sized knot in your throat --> not when the cops or people standing around pull us apart. My .02. Had Thomas, or any1 else on the planet pulled that fiasco AT THAT LOCATION, I would have done the same thing... but you better believe he would not need keys to open the shop the next morning b/c I'd be already in there waiting. PUSHING is for punks, no matter if you're in some1s face or behind their back... real men throw blows.... verdict stands.... Thomas = Punk. Thank you, that is all.
i see what you're sayin... i'm sayin the whole touching takes it to another level.. so now thomas thinks it was fine to put his hands on this snapper kid.

I'm not talkin get him right then and there, let him know not to ever touch you... and then follow that up with whatever goes next, perhaps "taking it outside" lol or in drift fury situation, a remote area... to resolve the dispute primative style. FTW

the way i see it. this thomas kid pushed him as he was walking away because he expected some sort of retalliation, talking shit didnt work, (punked once).. (ie, he said he wasn't talkin shit)... then he still didnt do nothing so as he was walking away thomas tried to get some action from him... shazaam (yes its a bitch move, but on both parts)

end result: Snapper didnt do shit in retalliation, thomas suceeded in the punkage
