Well here is one real life problem, possibly interesting for those interested in self defense.
So, we have problems with our neighbour. Not just my family, whole building, sometimes whole block of buildings. He is 45-50 years old guy. Punk, totally punk, probably have no happiness in life and it often looks like he is trying to take it from others.
Bullying, that's what it is. Psychically, most of the time. When you are working in the garage, he is yelling and threating about killing you because of why you making noise. Parking car late at night in public parking, same. Giving him a look, even nice, "what the fu** are you looking at".
When building manager told him that he has to pay for garbage services as all apartments does, he beated him. He beated also school manager when he punished his kid for not having clean shoes for school.
Not so far away (5 minutes walking) we have two playgrounds for children and adults, so it can be peace in the yard. But his children plays just and always in the yard and yelling and screaming. For even trying to please them to go to playgrounds results in assault or threatening. Last week his children were standing in front of a building and cursed to passengers..nobody said a word. And so on..
Clearly this is one disfunctional male adult and whole family, dangerous for his surroundings and for himself probably.
This guy is a freaking strong as a bull. Served military, trained kickbox and box for last 20 years. Working as a bouncer in club where police doesn't come in without special units. And in his eyes you see that he will go to the end..so no, you don't want confront him by no means.
What's with the law.Police was coming first 10-15 times, but then they say actually they can't accuse him for anything because "he is bully" simply isn't enough. In past few years he did few physical assaults and was punished with month jail. Now police even doesn't want to come no more neither we call them.
I know this is kind of situation with no good solution. Some families even moved because they were enough of that.
Where is my self defense here? I am trying to be neutral as possible. When passing him by trying to look away and by no means give him reason to attack me or say anything to me. And doing it for few years, successfully.
If I had family I would move because I know that, if he touched my children or wife, I would do something stupid and finished this all horror. To good I am moving from here in less then a month.
Just don't say I would beat him because, not just that it isn't good solution, and solution of one healthy adult, but because when you saw him you wouldn't. Not just he is strong, simply you see in his eyes he will go to the end and after that you are not anymore "fix this like a man".

So maybe some good material for discussing self defense at it's preventive and psychicall level.
Did you had similiar situation, how you dealed with it, and how would you act having him as a neighbour.
