Re: Almost beat the crap out of a kid and old man!!!!
Well if you think you'll get 100% agreement here with your testosterone-fueled, fish-protector episode, think again.
Despite my probable disagreement with the majority here, IMHO two wrongs don't make a right. Regardless of the lack of knowledge and care for the fish, it's far more objectionable to personally threaten two people (at worst) and risk inciting a fight (at best). Given your description of events, had there been a fight and had the police been called I envision you as the one getting hauled away in the back of the cruiser. And deservedly so.
I think the mature and ethical thing to do is calmly educate them and show how to handle the fish.
Their lack of knowledge, and even their lack of care for the living thing doesn't excuse your berating of them.
Just my two cents. OK maybe 4 cents.
