Assault no. 2

[Kadagar_AV]

Retribution? For what, calling him a name? Extremely brutish and petty.

For another assault a year ago by entirely different individuals with perceived group affiliation? Downright primitive.

No, much better to think of it as self-defense.

I wouldn't read to much into "retribution", if I know PVC right. He meant that from a psychological perspective, I believe... I had been damaged by immigrant gangs, I walked out of the next situation having damaged them. So retribution....

I don't think he in any way would be positive towards the idea of me beating up some random blokes for looking black.

I only hit the guy when he went to shove though, mind you. Sticks and stones... Fortunately I had some kind of reflex that made the "move away from the shove" the same action as hitting the guy. Then sure I did it some more, but they were like 5 so I had to make sure I got my attacker down before they could react.

Still was the dog who probably saved me though, not some amazing ninja skillz of mine...

But yes, as you say, it's self defense and anything else would be horrible. I am rather sure PVC meant just that though, it just came out wrong.
