Without resorting to any violence, to
stop a guy about 6"2" from punching the @#$!
out of his SISTER while he had thrown her up against my car (hard enough to leave a small dent (and all my cars are OLD, so they don't crease easily!) while I was mildly drunk and on sedatives.

I very nearly got KING HIT for my troubles
(by her other brother, who thought I was hassling his sister. When she told him what happenned, he just said "Nugget, you're a d****head!" and went back to bed.)

They were / are all part of a MAJOR mafia drug family with connections to corrupt police in my state and in most other states in my country.
Criminals travel a lot; they have MONEY...

I am about 5'4" tall, by the way,with no martial arts training...

DON:
Dang! You could have been killed!
