me how I could remain calm when the crazy stuff was happening? First, I did "community crises response" for the mental health clinic for many years. I'm used to certain aggressive behaviors. I've had shotguns aimed a few inches from my face. Second, when I was young, I boxed literally hundreds of amateur fights. I got my behind kicked a few times by really tough guys. Fear is a stick that is used against many good people. I don't feel that stick.
