Stop feeding into the cycle of our violence-obsessed culture! Sugar coat it however you lie, youre still hurting people and promoting a culture of conflict instead of conflict resolution. Youre only going to get yourself hurt worse by aggravating an attacker. Who do you think you are, Rambo? Youre not going to win against someone who surprises you with a gun or a knife, someone who attacks people for a living. If you dont care about yourself, care about the other people you will hurt by starting a fight and getting some guy all worked up. It takes two to tango. We have to stop the circle of violence and that means the buck stops here. Become a peacemaker, not a hater.
