Randomized Violence. Why!?

[Joshroom]

Let me just clarify the point of this thread.

A couple of days ago I was just walking along the road when a couple of guys just out of nowhere crashed into me. They then, to cut a long story short, proceeded to push me around a bit before just wandering off again; probably because I'd been too "pussy" to fight back.

I'm still pretty shaken up about it but it got me thinking. So my fellow escapists, my question to you. Have you ever had any experiences that are similar? And if you have, or even if you haven't, can you help me answer a burning question. Why? What was the point?! What did it achieve? And what do you think the pyschology is behind it?

Yes actually. Many years ago when I was weak and feeble, I was on the bus home from school when the local fuckwit (he was well known but I didn't know him at the time) made to get off the bus. As he passed me, I was talking to a friend. He tapped me on the shoulder and when I looked at him, he sneered "What the fuck you lookin' at?"
I got halfway through "You what?" when he punched me very hard in the eye. This hurt and so did the collision between my head and the handrail when it snapped back. With that he made to get off but I called after him and so he turned back and nailed me again. The bus driver tried to catch him but failed. The next morning I had a very sore head and massive black eye.

Years later, I was flicking through the local paper when I saw the guy and read, with some glee, he was in jail for car theft. Since then he's been in and out for all kinds of stuff...I mean this is the guy who is so stupid he writes his own name and hometown in graffiti.

I keep hoping to find out he's been buggered to death in prison but if I see him again, I have something for him now I am a bit less cowardly.

Why? - Because he's a fuckwit.
What was the point? - To make his dick seem bigger?
What did it acheive? - Well he gave me a black eye and concussion...does that count?
What was the psycology? - See my answers to your first and second questions. The guy was a vicious little shite.

Some people have absolutely nothing but strength going for them- no intelligence, no personality, no empathy- so going around showing off their strength by picking on people who can't fight back is the only way they have to express themselves.

If we could find all these people, drop them into a very deep pit and let them "express themselves" to each other to the bitter end, the species as a whole would be vastly improved.

Very true, that is a brilliant idea.

should have sneezed really hard and acted like you have the worst cold ever.

Why? What was the point?! What did it achieve? And what do you think the pyschology is behind it?

Why? What point? we are Borg, we must assimilate you.
Achieve? To acheive dominance over you. pyschology? we are better than you so watch it.

Barbarians, an excuse me would have sufficed, geez.

Boosts their ego and makes them seem more confident and important in the eyes of others and therefore more attractive.
It's all right here in The Nature of Human Prickery.

I don't look for violence but when it has found me... A well placed knee to the nuts and throat punch won the day! Fighting dirty is easy and I recommend it.

Not to say I couldn't fight them "fair", I am a big dude and all, but I really find that I have better things to do then throw some punches with people that don't know how to act mature.
