Just remember that for the next asshole that does similar to you. You don't need to physically fight back, but call 911, call the media - let them fight on your behalf. Get depositions from people.
Nobody... NOBODY deserves to be punched in the groin by ANYONE.
Well... maybe except Rush Limbaugh...
*hugs gently*
