Bar Fight Diplomacy

Send us Fan MailYou find yourself in a bar fight with a drunken gangster. He's insane, threatening, and has some thugs in the corner ready to step-in and help him pummel you. You stand tall and think about throwing the first punch, but he's feeling no pain and raging. You turn to walk away but the thugs are now blocking the exit. They're threatening to shoot-up the whole bar. They want trouble. You're the only one standing up to them. What do you do? Engage hoping to outlast him in a fight hoping his thugs stay out of it? Throw one well-placed punch and knock his lights out and hope that the thugs respect you or fear you enough to let you leave...but could you leave the innocents behind to be slaughtered? Could you take them all on and hope some brave souls come to you aide to defeat them? If you defeat them, would the gang come for you later? Burn your house? Hurt your family? How does this resolve? Do you instead, offer to buy the drunk a drink and hear him out? Could you befriend him while maintaining your dignity? Could this be a metaphor for the pending escalation of tensions in the Middle East? Support the showSheridan Forge would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Write him at: [email protected]
