"Johnny merely steps aside, allowing Daniel to knock himself to the ground...twice."
"When Daniel refuses to let it go, Johnny must use force to end this violent outburst for the safety of everyone present."
"So what is Daniel's response to Johnny's non-aggression? Pow! a sucker punch, right to the mouth."
"Because Johnny knows what can happen when you teach karate to a person with a bad attitude."
Seriously - that's great.
Johnny and Daniel definitely both have their flaws. Neither is perfect, to be sure. Their relationship really is so much little brother (punk Daniel who says and does dumb irritating things) and big brother (Johnny - who is frustrated/angry at annoying little brother and simply wants him to go away and leave him and his friends alone - but takes it too far.)
