Yknow what’s interesting though when it comes to insane homeless people doing random attacks on strangers

Unless they are not quite as insane as they are making out, or if they are, there is a part of their brain that still understands the idea of picking a fight you think you can win, but for whatever reason they still tend to go for people that are smaller and weaker than them

I mean, technically for any of us, whether it’s a fight or especially a war time situation, you should always try to ONLY EVER go into a combat situation where you KNOW you have a significant advantage, especially when you are putting your very life on the line. When other’s lives are on the line, then all bets are off

But even super crazy homeless dudes tend to still choose to sucker punch little Asian women, or old frail 60yr old men. I have almost never in my life seen a video of a homeless psycho walking up and sucker punching a thugged out dude who’s like twice their size, no matter how crazy the homeless dude is

So, irregardless of how much you think it does (or in the case of some people here, think it doesn’t) help in a fight, being big and in shape is and always will be a deterrent. You just have to look like trouble, you don’t have to actually be trouble

I think the problem is so many dudes get big in order to have that as a deterrent, but it warps their mind and turns them into a bully, a tyrant. And sometimes they do end up getting humbled by someone much smaller, and that’s always glorious [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Totally, I agree with all of this. You do kind of wonder sometimes if they're as crazy as they seem or if they're just faking it to a degree, because there's a perverse incentive to do so. There are tons of cases of people pretending to be crazy in police interrogations in the anticipation of a lighter (or no) sentence.

Rational self interest is a powerful force that extends to almost everybody. Bath salts are still the exception to that rule haha, a dude on bath salts will try to chew the face off anybody, big or small. To a lesser extent synthetic marijuana too. People are kind of conditioned by pop culture to assume meth and heroin are the main things to watch out for, and they're both certainly mega destructive, but give me that over a bath salt junkie any day.
