There was a situation a few years ago where I broke up a fight. I only did it because it looked like one guy was unconscious and on the way to being murdered. Normally if two people are fighting, I'm perfectly happy to let them be. Well, the second I intervened the guy who was down and apparently lifeless jumped to his feet. This surprised me and I had to take control of the situation and call the police. I was armed, my pulse was 200, and I was watching both of them for anything that might turn bad for myself. Fortunately, I was able to maintain control by responding to everything with (yelled, in a firm voice): "You will sit the **** down and you will shut the **** up!" I never even drew on them, but I would have without hesitation to defend myself.
