This issue is going to throw readers off a bit, as I recommend harsh—even brutal—actions against low level threats, threats that really can be negotiated without recourse to such measures, but only if you have that certain persona. You are either born with that persona, like Dante Justine, Banno's Boys, or you build it through boxing, martial arts, MMA, power-lifting, police work, drug dealing, serving in combat, etc. If you don’t have it to begin with, then you need to build it at the expense of the least dangerous aggressors, which is precisely how prize-fighters are developed or “brought along” into their own ritualistically violent world.

Managing the lower end of the aggression spectrum is clutch for the survivalist—particularly the individual travelling man—as this is where more serious threats sometimes begin, and represents a pretty constant source of psychological conditioning for those who seek to keep their mind right for the very reasonable purpose of remaining fee of the bad intentions of the lowest life form on Planet Earth, the scavenging, feral, urban, subhuman male.
