In my younger years I was a pretty laid back guy, until it was time to not be. The local high school bad ass , had taken one too many jabs at me. and well let’s just say he wasn’t as bad as he had made himself up to be. In all the years and fights in school you never heard of a knife etc. being used.
Both my boys are very big and could easily handle themselves, but I always told them your better to walk away from a fight in this day and age. You just don’t know what the other person is capable of.
