SirLance: Awesome post. My one problem - The reason why I hesitate to speak up in those type of situations is that I am concerned about violent reaction. I live in LA where everyone wants to fight all the time. I am not a former Green Beret so I am somewhat reluctant to do what you do (I wish I could). What if cell-phone-jerk-at-the-bank told me to fuck off? Or pushed me? I'm not a big guy nor do I look intimidating so I guess I am too cowardly to risk violence. sImilar to the guy in church. If he lets his kids behave that way, chances are he's also "thuggish" or a bully.
Still, I applaud what you did, that was awesome. I just wish I could do it too.
