Kurt,
Although I agree that the comments of the gentleman at the next table from David were extremely offensive...I do not see any criminal conduct that would warrant a ride to the lock up.
While your sentiments may be inclined to support the violent reaction, I think that reason and logic should have prevailed. However, possibly our backgrounds differ...attorneys are taught not to allow themselves to be provoked because anger and logic can not coexist. People such as the gentleman seated at the next table are fun to bate and with which to argue. If his comments were as crude as David relates, the gentleman in question was obviously someone of limited intelligence.
Attorneys love to argue, and I have often found myself in a similar situation both in and out of the court room. I find it more amusing to to provoke their ire with passive resistance and and a logical argument. They soon become frustrated because they can not separate emotion from logic nor relate to this approach, and their comments become even more ridiculous...especially in a public arena such as a restaurant. When your point is well made, you simply walk away...leaving the other party infuriated, frustrated and embarrassed in front of other patrons.
