I would pray people like that moron would attempt to assault me with a baseball bat.
Just to be fair, I would limit myself to using just a 5' staff only 1" in diameter in defense. But knowing how those cowards and thugs operate, a fair fight is not what they have in mind. They would try to bash in heads while you sleep, or gather a few hundred of their depraved pals to gang up on an old couple trying to cross the street.
But hey - if they really want to dance, I think we ought to dance right back and put them down like the dogs they are when they attempt that crap.
