If he actually does beat up a guy then that is really wrong. And he could possibly get into trouble if the guy he beats up reports it to the police. However if hes just all talk and trying to scare all the bad guys off, then perhap it isnt that bad. Is your brother much older then you? If he is, he most likely has a good idea about telling the difference between the bad and good guys. This is because hes older and hes a guy himself, he would probably have a good gut feeling. Personaly I think you should take advtange of this bcause not every girl has someone looking out for them.
You could talk to your parents about your brothers behaviour and see if they can get him to stop. But remember your brother loves you and cares abotu you! He just wants to make sure no bad guy dates you and treats your badly. Perhaps instead of him threatening to beat the guys up, you could ask him for his opninion on each guy and take it into consideration. If he knows he is being heard he might feel a bit better.
