Finally some action. The subject came up because about a week prior to our
practice, my fire company was dispatched for an EMS run for a victim of an
assault. Once we got there we found a 20+ lad on the ground with his head split
open. Once we patched him up and sent out in the ambulance, we talked to some
bystanders and they said some dudes came up to him with a bat and swung for the
fences. Apparently over a pack of smokes. So we started talking about body
mechanics and how if the lad had a stick, and a little knowledge, he could have
blocked the swing and given them a good quick thump.
