...and physical, and emotional strength to take care of it. No calling the police which is I think is even iffier these days.

Many years ago (thank goodness no weapons) one brawl broke out right near me on the street (sidewalk), and second came sort of careening towards me in a moving subway car to where I ended up stuck in a corner.

So yeah, I usually pay attention when difficult things happen... (even before those experiences)

Best to you both.
