Keep it simple. A forceful "STOP!" is all that is needed, if the BG doesn't comply, the next sound is "BANG!". ANY derogatory remark will come back to bite you in the butt. Even "Freeze, DIRTBAG!" shows that you have already determined that the aggressor is less then human. We know how the BG's "Human Rights" are upheld in court & you've already reduced yourself below him.

All of the catchy movie lines are out. Your objective isn't to "blow a bog hole" in him, or to "ruin his family's Christmas" or anything else of the like. Your objective is to "STOP!" the attack, make that objective clear and concise & it will remain so in court.
