    What if the young lad had done something bad to the other lads a week ago and this was their revenge.

    Imo your husband should mind his own business, what if they had knives...!

    Absolutely!
    What if it were your kid being beaten to death and 10000 people passed by minding their own business.
    What if this wasn't revenge but a drunken or drug induced attack on someone random?
    What if they had guns?
    What if they come looking for him after?


    What if I keep thinking about the what ifs in my life and never amount to anything?

    Last time someone said to me "what if he had had a knife" I had stopped a bloke who had a woman bent backwards over a hedge with his hands round her throat. Good job I was a nosey !!!!!! and didn't mind my own business. good job I wasn't a cowardly lickspittle like some people.

    Why did you all put ?????? to my post? Do you not get it? It was a compliment and a bit of a joke. Do you really need me to break it down for you?
    Person opens a business.
    Person makes a persuasive claim that they can teach you skills you do not have.
    But youre looking for some sort of proof.
    Businessman uses the publicity as proof of his ability and that he can pass his ability on to others.
    Sold.


    Dumbpots.

    I didn't ???????

    I just quoted someone who did. I work in the fitness industry btw. Never met anyone yet who opened a gym on the back of stopping someone from getting attacked, but I suppose anything's possible

    PS, also helps to get a few fitness qualifications behind you before you open the gym, so that you can pass your knowledge onto other people:)

    Bampot is a much better word btw, met so many in real life and online.

    Ta for the breakdown though

    so what of he did? Doesn't make it right though does it? If everyone had your attitude, well, I hate to think what would've happened.

    Yes, they could have had knives, but 'what if' people like the OP's husband just walked on by?

    What rubbish! Three on to one is fair?

    And if you, or one of your family is being beaten up by a band of bullies and we walk by - will you still say that we should mind our own business?

    Evil lives when good men do nothing - remember that!

    You don't know the story though, if the 1 guy had slept with 1 of the other guys wife or something. Your husband is no hero, but more of an idiot

    So you think three men onto one is a fair fight? Where does the woman come into it? Does she get beat up too?

    Bull!

    Your right, he didn't know the story but it could just of easily been some kid who had an expensive phone in his hand that they wanted.

    I'm glad everyone doesn't think like this! :eek:
