      Seriously, my toolbox of non-violent intervention skills is probably 100x deeper than any of these buckets of moralizing horse bile.

      You wanna preach non-violence? Great. Tell me five ways to intervene and de-escalate.

      What if the victim is in a wheelchair? Deaf? What if the attacker has a gun? If they're mentally ill? If they don't speak English?

      What if the aggressor is backed against a wall? What if you're lost? What if your phone is dead?

      What if the aggressor is a state actor, like a cop or a soldier? What if the person refuses to let themselves be transport to a hospital?

      ^ Over the course of August 11 and 12 I encountered almost all of these scenarios. And in the lead-up I trained for many of them.

      Just yesterday, in a country I've never been in before, I recognized a domestic situation in a language I don't even speak and intervened.

          Everyone else walked by and would have let violence happen. Yet I was able to intervene non-violently and de-escalate.

          This is what antifa does. This is what community defense is. Anyone trained would have recognized what I was doing.

          On a12, during the terrorist attack, I was right there. I knew it was an attack, I knew he might even start shooting.

          I even unholstered my gun in case that happened. But I didn't point it, I saw there was no clear shot, I saw him speed away instead.

          So I re-holstered it, ran to the police and told them to call an ambulance, and helped clear the streets. Violence as last resort.

          If I was a violent extremist, I would have unloaded my clip, consequences be damned. I was ready to if I had to. But I didn't. That's NVDA.

          Look for "de-escalation training" in your area. There are martial arts gyms with social justice mission in some areas.
