Jesus Tapdancing Christ, what a bunch of cartoon characters around here.
Here's how it is in a nutshell:
-Only cowards and hookers spit on people. Period. That was a fucked up thing to do, and frankly, he deserves to get beat with his own baseball bat that he's supposedly saving for an autograph. People literally get murdered for such acts.
-Melvin, there's not an excuse or body in the world that should have kept you from retaliating. Derek beating your ass after you punched him in the jaw for his act is a MUCH more preferable outcome than you essentially just taking it like a bitch. What the fuck gives, dude!? If you must go down, go down fighting, ESPECIALLY if someone spits on you.
