Well I'll just sit under you here then hun jacket or no jacket :rascal:
I find fainning innocence (shurrup meaty) much more fruitful than violence.
You're walking down the street, someone drops something infront of you.
You, very helpfully, pick it up and hand it back to them, "I'm terribly sorry to bother you but I think you dropped this", a big smile and a fluttering of eyelashes - they usually find the nearest bin.
Works for guys too, but don't do the eyelash bit - they'll think you've either lost a contact or you're trying to wink at em.

i understand the emotions that litter dropping evoked in you, however i know its off track but you were all sat in traffic pumping out toxic fumes damamging the enviroment when this happened. Would it have been acceptable for a guy on a bicycle to drag you from you van and take your keys away?
also how would people be reacting if it was a lady he had dragged out of her car and treated in this maner?
there is no excuse for violence.
those in glasshouses should not throw stones. I think, as a few have said, maybe getting out walking over and pointing out the error of his ways in a diplomatic manner would have given you the higher ground and made you feel better in the long run, after all if you felt no guilt you wouldnt be asking us to condon the behaviour ?

i read all of robbies post and thought one question he was asking is was he was right or had gone over the top, i took this as him wanting yes or nos to how we feel he acted warrented the crime?
there was violence involved by dragging him form his car,and he spoke about a red mist ,all this reads to me like there was a violent attitude and action, which could have escalated. i dont see violence as only thumping someone.
for me to say yes he acted appropriotely would have in my mind condoned his actions therfore condoned violence for litter dropping in this case.
yes i think litter dropping is wrong, but i dont think this was the correct way of dealing with it.
i dont have all the answers , i only gave robbie my opinion which he did ask for, when we ask advise its not always what we want to hear.
robbie could have been injured in this event aswel.
