Gives. A new meaning to quarter pounder..
My philosophy has always been to beat 'em until they can't chase you. So on two points 1. Agree knees are the way to go and 2. Based on what I read, no problem with him swinging away if they got up.Yea ... if they got up again, I'd hit 'em again too. But I'd go for the knee as opposed to the head. People underestimate a good smash to the kneecap.
But if he's on parole for shooting somebody ... well, he's going back to jail I'll bet.
