Thanks,

I've read that if you look the other way, keep quiet, don't make eye contact, etc. then to a potential thug or mugger, those are victim signs for this guy is afraid or unprepared or both.

After reading Jeff Cooper and his color code system, it has helped me understand the importance of looking into the eye, speaking up and out and the last thing I want to do is appear the victim which sometimes aids in becoming one.

I also do not want things to escalate and feel whenever possible, give the other side pause or at least something that says to them, hey, this guy may
not be worth it.
