What is the legendary truth behind the time you defended your family, which you later defined to be anybody, with weapons?

You must have missed that thread, Mr. Burbank. Vinth used a butterknife to fend off an angry Chinese restaurant owner when he was 12. Vinth's dad was a "big" fellow, and he took "all you can eat" quite seriously.
According to his account, it was quite the harrowing experience... the angry owner yelling about health regulations and the necessity of taking a new plate at each trip to the buffet... young Vinth, brandishing the utensil, mouthing off about dirty immigrants not speaking English in between leering glances at the owner's daughter... his father stuffing his fat face with tiger prawns... his mother surgically removing meat from the chicken bones and filling her grocery bag-lined purse...
