You can't make an omelet unless you are willing to crack some eggs.

I would have asked him really nicely to get the heck away from my kid and stay away.

Sounds like you need to teach your boy how to box out better.

My first reaction would be to protect my son. I would not predict a normal adult would act like that in the first place, so there's a good chance he's not going to act in a predictable way in any kind of engagement with him. Sounds like he's got a screw loose and I'd get away my kid away from him. You did right.

you should have flicked a cigarette butt on him

Wait until the guy gets out of the pool and have your son kick him in the nuts.

Guys in violet take me off guard also Zeke.;)

On the other note, just a doofus old guy being a kid again I believe.

If it was physical at all, that would be a different story.

You should have invited him to your shop, then given him the beat down when he was pounding on your door :D
