In addition to this the work DB did with him was based around self image, self belief, confidence to talk to people and deal with "scary" situations, not martial arts.<BR/><BR/>I do think however the event would of gone differently if it had been Jason's bag/backpack. This would of been a more personal threat and would of then been a case of having to defend himself.<BR/><BR/>Regarding abusive language, Jason was shown playing his Xbox 360 and he's a computer techy... he blatantly plays online where one comes under such verbal abuse daily... mail.<BR/><BR/>What do you think?<BR/><BR/>Em & Stustupleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455924815905159068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888206018712837431.post-57958719635293903232008-06-02T05:38:00.000-07:002008-06-02T05:38:00.000-07:00Good point.

Jason had no problem using abusive language with the thief, but for some reason it did not occur to him to knock the thief to the ground.William_Tapscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511808893207300455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888206018712837431.post-34986955104972468632008-06-02T00:52:00.000-07:002008-06-02T00:52:00.000-07:00One of the most shocking parts of the show for me ...One of the most shocking parts of the show for me was when Jason was chasing the thief. It seemed they were struggling for a fairly long time, yet Jason didn't resort to physical violence. Why was this? Surely most people would try have tried to get the thief to the ground, yet Jason let himself be led up into the apartment. I suspect he had already been hypnotized/persuaded/told subconsciously what to do in that situation. Potentially it could have turned pretty nasty.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00614026363297341722noreply@blogger.com
