This is a very misleading edit of

> [@iiandyiiii](#):
>
> He was attacked by a stranger in front of his kids. Of course he was afraid! Angry too, I’m sure, but that doesn’t negate fear. The force he used was pretty damn minimal. He could have killed the guy, all he did was make damn sure the threat was over.
