This fashion

for mindless violence often starts with as little
as eye contact. In a volatile environment this can be
construed as a subliminal challenge to fight. Many of the
fights I witnessed in my time as a nightclub doorman began
with the' eye contact challenge'. You don't have to do any
thing wrong to be attacked by this genre of attacker, you just
have to be there. Please don't make the mistake of looking
for the logic in the
attack, there is no logic, the will be no logic and to look for
it will only add confusion and indecision. In those seconds
of indecision you will have been robbed and beaten -there is
no logic.
Most assaults of this nature are, in my opinion, due to
displaced aggression. You may trigger off this aggression
and become the object of that aggression. Something is
pissing these people off in their sad lives.
