Kudos on the response!! I agree that trying out some of my martial arts skills would have been great fun in that instance. But that would have gone against the first principle we learned in said training "The best fight is the one that never happens" You did everything you needed to do.

Also, since you were most likely not noticed by the punks you will probably not be targeted for retaliation later.

We can only make supplication to the Almighty that she and others like her will be able to be removed from those situations.

Again, kudos for doing the right thing.
