To Fight or not to Fight

Randy finds himself in a situation where there seems no way to avoid a fight. "I'm actually proud of myself", says Randy, "because I remained calm, collected and controlling my emotions."  He leaves us with an impressive appeal: "If you ever find yourself in this situation, do your best to de-escalate it."Winning a fight, whether it's physical, verbal, intellectual or emotional may give you a sense of victory, but Randy shows that the true triumph comes from overcoming your own impulses, emotions and wounded pride.Red Onion Randy features the life and times of Randall Via, who is currently serving 1,214 years in Red Onion State Prison for capital murder.
