The "tatooed gang-banger" never scared me. Even 50+ yrs old I'd stand toe-to-toe with any one of them and I'm not an overly imposing guy. They are the hot-headed type and either one of two things happen: they have the balls to throw a punch then it's beat the hippie for free day, or they yell a lot and break some **** then leave to get drunk/high and beat on their girlfriend. If anyone ever came at me or my employees with a bat or other weapon I would have no problem putting 2 slugs center chest. It's the "normal" guys you have to look out for. That's when you fire someone then weeks later when lighting the plant you just built find "someone" went along and put severe microbend/breaks in a dozen places.
It's easy to define what you're willing to fight for; but what are you willing to stand for without fighting? What are you willing to lay down your life for?
