To avoid and/or escape the fight scenario, you need to
understand the 'cursory glancer'. These are his ritualistic
steps:
-You may catch the eye of someone across a
crowded room or a street, the look lingers.
-He asks the question, 'Who are you looking at?'
-A physical approach follows.
-He reiterates the question, 'I said, what are you
fucking looking at?'
-He then generally progresses to an actual challenge or
attack. 'Do you wanna 'go', then?'
-Often the assailant will attack at 'actual challenge'.
If he does not, as a pre-cursor to violence, he will
often drop into single syllables that act as subliminal action
triggers to his attack. Words like 'Yeah', and' or 'So' are often
employed just before attack. The single syllable is a sure
sign that the interview is nearing an end and the introduction
of physical violence is imminent.
