About 20 years ago my teen age daughter was riding with my niece when a well dressed 30 something man followed them into a parking lot and proceeded to use every foul word in the English language on them and then proceeded to kick the doors of my niece's care in on both sides of the vehicle. Scared them crazy. My niece got his license number and told her brother, my nephew. Nephew proceeds to find out the owner through some friends and the guy is a big shot officer at a local bank.

Nephew waits until he leaves work at the bank and in the bank parking lot asks him if he is the tough guy that scares women. He said maybe, what about it?

Nephew takes out a pair of brass knucks and beats him to a pulp then proceeds to kick in the doors of the guy's sports car. Nephew tells the guy that if he doesn't want another dose he should leave town.

Next day the big banker abruptly quits his job and leaves town post haste. I never knew anything about it until after the drama had passed.

Most turn from tough guy to cowards pretty quickly when the odds are even.
