Imagine you're standing outside your locked apartment building on the welcome mat under the awning. Suddenly two drunken men about 20 yards
away decide they are going to beat you up. They charge you while yelling vulgar threats of how they are going to "beat your ass."
At first, you can't believe this is really happening. Then, you realize it is indeed happening. Unfortunately, those couple of moments of disbelief
have allowed the two drunks to close the distance. Now, they are only 10 yards away from you, still charging, and still cursing and threatening you.
You are a disabled Army veteran. You served in Korea, Mogadishu in Somalia, and Egypt in Desert Storm. But, nothing has prepared you
for something like this. Your 30% Army service disability is due to nerve damage in your right leg, which causes
foot drop. So, you can't outrun these two aggressive drunks, and
you can't hope to win a fight against two healthy young men either. But, even though you have done nothing to provoke them, they aren't giving you a choice on whether there is
going to be a fight or not.
You are more afraid now than you have ever been in your entire life. You know these mean drunks are going to cause you serious bodily
injury or death because they are still charging and still yelling vulgar threats of how they are going to "beat your ass." You realize you are in a real life nightmare.
