“There are men in this world who go about demanding to be killed. You must have noticed them. They quarrel in gambling games, they jump out of their automobiles in a rage if someone so much as scratches their fender, they humiliate and bully people whose capabilities they do not know. I have seen a man, a fool, deliberately infuriate a group of dangerous men, and he himself without any resources. These are people who wander through the world shouting, ‘Kill me! Kill me!’ And there is always somebody ready to oblige them” — Mario Puzo’s The Godfather.

If you didn't catch it, him saying "with what" was trying to get him to reveal or admit to having a firearm. If he's being threatened with a firearm, that immediately gives him permission to subdue.

The high pay rate offerings are typically for “security or law enforcement professionals.” So, depending on state and how risky the location, most of those guys are special duty cops, or cops off duty who are allowed to work security for local businesses.

Came here to say this. He's been carrying around 200lbs extra, every single day. Under that fluff, he's probably got more total muscle mass than that guy.
And the guard could crush this "difficult customer's" bones just by falling on him.
Now the other guy could just... run. Leave. Like he should. Like he's being told.
But so long as he keeps stepping up, cornfed lad might not 'win' the fight, but the lad would make sure there are no winners in that fight.

It’s like an old timey slur for white person, like cracker.

Then the rest of the band, all black guys, comes out of car and goes, “Who you calling a spook, peckerwood?” And then the peckerwood fucks off.

Meat and potatoes kinda strength, knew a kid in highschool. Biggest person I ever met. We we're on the same football team. He Would eat a loaf of bread before workouts and drink a pint of chocolate milk, I swear to God. I am 200lbs. And he picked me up one day (leg injury) and PRINCESS CARRIED ME TO the sidelines without even showing the slightest bit of fatigue or wear. Went to help his family with putting hay bales in the loft, his grandparents came to the same church as my mom and well she sighed me right up for help. Wasn't the least bit surprised watching him pick a hay bale over his shoulder and just lug it about. Man was a certified work horse. Passive as all hell though. That kind of strength is a blessing and the blessing is these people will let us walk away rather than put our money where our mouth is. Cuz they could make us.
