"Teach" implies education, usually through the use of constructive dialogue. As you rightly posted, this would also be written as "Teach them".

"Learn 'em" however implies

So whats the SN consensus, walking home alone four lads attack, do you stand down curl up and hope for the best or stand your ground and cop more than what you would have probably got?
Absolutely terrible!
Hope you are ok and, the barstewards get caught.


It hapened to my 18 yr old son a few months ago. He was attacked by a gang of about 30 white yobs after a night out for absolutely nothing! Luckily, someone from the vicinity of the scene informed the police or, it could have been quite bad
He was asked by the police to go further with the case.Police even found a video footage of the incident on CCTV. But my lad was too scared to persue anything.

The society is very yob-ish nowadays. White, pink, black or, brown.

So if they hadnt been ethnics you would have been Ok with the whole thing right?

I guess getting kicked senseless by white skinheads /chavs would be quite easy on the ego...

He was not ok, Maz. He was physically battered and quite shaken for a while, I think.

He did not come home that night.He rang me to let me know that he was staying with a mate. He never told me anything because, he did not want to worry me. I came to know about it when a police letter came through the door saying " Mr................, we know that you have been a victim of crime. Please ring us for any help and advice etc."
It was not good

He is ok, now. I do worry about him when he goes out. You never know who can turn aggressive to you just because, you look different.

Unfortunatley there's not much you can do in these circumstances. Even an extremely good fighter would struggle with 4 opponents at the same time. You've just gotta hurt one as much as possible, keep your range, DON'T go down and try not to get in a struggle. Use them against each other so you don't have 4 people from every angle, i.e try and line them up so you're only dealing with 1 at a time. Easier said than done.

I ended up against a wall so i knew where they were and where the punches were coming from, as you say trouble is 8 fists is hard to defend against. I was lucky i didn't go down and it was only a brief encounter before they ran off due to hearing sirens from a passing ambulance

Glad you're ok all things considered. Hope you feel better soon.

Fecking bunch of cowards give vultures a bad name!

I'm sure they can all go home and brag about how they "busted a big bloke" or whatever, whilst neglecting to mention that "they" comprised 4 people and all four of them didnt even have the ***** to instigate the attack from the front

I know exactly what type we're dealing with here: wouldn't say boo to a goose by themeselves, but give them a few mates and a few Stellas and god help anyone with the audacity to walk the streets alone! Exactly the kind of scum that needs to be purged from UK streets!

As for how best to react, well, I look at it this way: defeating multiple opponents is best left to Bruce lee wannabees and even they would in a quiet moment admit that it doesn't work out the way its portrayed in the movies, even if you are very competent! So, my approach would be to look for an exit and run to the nearest public place (discretion being the better part of valour). If trapped, single one out and aim to incapacitate: the rest may back off when they see you're not going to take it lying down. Don't be afraid of fighting dirty, they can't exactly complain if they initiated a 4 on 1.

I wouldn't just lie there and take a kicking; they probably wouldn't stop till they'd done some damage, maybe not even then!

my mate got jumped at Kings cross a few years back. All of them were ethnically challanged and surrounded him and stripped him of all his posessions, including the ticket to the rave he was going to
Place is a **** hole, I always have my antennas up when I go down there.
As for fighting back, a few years ago I would have had a go, but these days they've all got firepower on their side, so I'd probably resort to extreme amounts of racial abuse that would make a pimp blush.
Let them report me for hate crimes if they like

IMHO, shoulda grabbed one by the face, jammed your thumbs into his eyes and tickled his brain. I bet the other three would get the hint.
