The situation is a 17 yr old kid at the cross town rival school and my son. He has threatened to do harm to my 16 yr old son. They are both big boys, standing over 6' and weigh more than I. Now, I do not know all of the reasons but if he shows up here with his buds and I interfere and well, maybe I get a shot on me and then all hell breaks loose till everyone is dead. I was just curious as to my options. I guess we will just wing it. I was trained to improvise.
Tough situation General...I would normally say the same thing...Kids usually don`t do much damage when its all said and done, except your talking about kids that are the size of large adults...
Probably won`t end until a fight or some sortive altercation brings it to a head...thats one thing about being a kid I do not miss...I once got my ass beat right in front of my house with my family watching (this was long before the 19 inch arms of steel came to fruition) I never forgot it...and it probably motivated me to get bigger...lol, I had a blood clot in my eye, my head was all full of knots, it was not something I would let happen if I had a son

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

general - real men dont 'fight.' in my opinion, it shows a sense of insecurity, a lack of confidence. if i had a 16 year old son, I would teach him to walk away from a fight, not to try to beat the chit out of someone. You can raise your kid however you want. I just think the upbringing of peace and compromise is more effective than fight and defend your name!!! you were in the marines. i was not.
so we come from different places.
i would tell your kid to just stay away.
one more thing, if you live in a home, which i don't know that you do, you have to be careful that your son's actions might end up a claim against your homeowner's insurance policy. oftentimes they include lawsuits arising out of your kid's actions. if your kid tries to kill this other kid and puts him in the hospital, youre damn right he is going to hire a lawyer to get paid.
TAKE THE HIGHER ROAD GENERAL!!!
