Wow, where the hell do YOU live? Please let me know so I can immediately move me and my family there. Anybody else wanna go live in La-La land with me and Slayer?

I do! Hell in that place the physics homework I should be working on would half-finish itself for me. :p

I don't get it. Dood jumps on this guy's hood, punches the window and prob cracks it, driver just drives off and then proceeds to get out. Does some swinging but the guys don't appear to be injured. (Could be adrenaline) Floor it or run his ass over.

If that street-clearing PING nose came from hitting the skull, the dude must be dead by now.

If you watch carefully, I don't think the bat ever landed a clean shot. Probably grazed by then hit the asphalt.

He gets at least 1 good shot near the end, the guy gets his arm up to block but it lands pretty solid. I bet they woke up not feeling too great.

I like how this thread went from bats, and douches getting owned to slayer spouting bullshit and trying to pretend he knows what he is talking about. Now if only the internet had a "Swing Bat" button we could resolve this situation more quickly.

Aluminium bats are useless against anything with more weight than a tennis ball if you don't hit it low on the shaft.

A proper cricket bat would have had a much different result.

Another reason why cricket is a superior sport.

hispanic gangbanger? LOL. he was looking at your car? oh shit, good thing you had a gun.

kid gets beat. you hear of a telephone? some shit called 911 idk. plus your in a crowded lot. STARE DOWN THAT MOFO!!!

you get a flat tire and people are giving you weird looks? jesus fucking christ, IIIIII am full of lulz? lmfao

and it 25% of adults carried weapons, that would mean a shit ton of criminals would have weapons. some crimes would go down, many would go up, and there would be shootouts in the streets. you fail

I'd love to hear more stories about where guns have come in handy for you guys.

You are the pinnacle of ignorance.

The guy filming came in his pants when that guy's head got whacked. But seriously, they deserved it for doing that to a total stranger (if he was).

OMG that was EPIC. He BARELY made that out alive, though. That could have been bad for him.
I'm pretty sure I would have just ran that guy over as soon as he jumped on the hood of my car
Me, too. I would not have stopped with the bat. No point in confrontation; fvck them I'd just run away. But, when you're in a car you have power and if somebody is on your hood screaming I think you're sufficiently threatened to gas it and if they get hurt too bad.

When guy drove off there was a cop car he almost rammed into wasn't there?

Baseball is the game the girls played when boys played real sports.

Cricket is skill, baseball is just a made up game to keep the girls doing something while the boys play football (real football, not kevlar rugby).

Sorry but it's a girls game.

Only if the other guys are willing to wait while you grab a nice cup of tea. If you need to hit somebody on a tighter schedule stick with the baseball bat.

And you need to play a mans game zippy. Aluminum softball bats are weak, the baseball models are much stronger.

Baseball bat does beat a cricket but perhaps only if made of wood. Baseball bat easier also to hammer nails into the end and end up with a piercing mace. That would have done these guys up nice!

LOL, you actually think that a lightweight Aluminium bat is something compared to the weight of a cricket full bat? NOt even the lead ball weighted ones are even close.

It's like a short .22 compared to a .45.

Anyone who have ever held a proper oak cricket bat will tell you that.

Well, turn the cricket bat sideways, it's heavier all around, has a lower resistance and ... well that is about it.

I would MUCH rather get hit by a baseball bat than a cricket bat, so would every sane human being.

At reasonable speeds going sideways a cricket bat will break your skull without even intention, a baseball bat... well perhaps a louisville slugger and a big man swinging...

Maybe I'd rather be hit by a baseball bat but if a cricket bat is as heavy as you say it's going to be slow and a bit unwieldy compared. This guy one handedes the baseball bat a bit because it lets you keep balance, that would be harder with a cricket bat.

BTW I'd rather a guy draw a gun on me than a sword because a guy with a sword is by definition batsh*t crazy.

You somehow managed to start a baseball vs cricket debate in a thread about a guy fending off street thugs? Unbelievable.

Yeah... crazy douchebag charges me with a sword and I have a gun, crazy douchebag is going to get shot. Probably multiple times. Craziness is thus irrelevant.

Depens on the person swinging it, it looks light in the hands of a pro, just like a louisville slugger does, though i think you'll agree with me that a proper slugger bat isn't for untrained people.

Have you ever tried a cricket bat? They are quite heavy, perhaps not much heavier than a slugger but on the other hand, swing it sideways and you have a point of strike that is much smaller and ALL weight is behind that point since it's as thin as the point of strike all the way through.

Heh, in Bagram when we first arrived there were a full SHITLOAD of men with swords coming out of their houses putting their swords down after we fought through the cities shelter troops. Now the Taliban are back after we withdrew on orders, i kinda wish i could hand them their swords back.

In reality you'd crap your pants, forget how to pull the trigger and run away tripping so you'd have to run on all four...
