If they offend you or seem a risk, the first steps should be:     1) Be nice.     2) Agree to disagree     3) Walk awayIf you serve on a security team, as a parent, teacher, etc take this ministry mindset and you will de-escalate potential conflicts -- instead of fanning them, even unintentionally, into flames.Proverbs 15:1 MSG "A gentle response defuses anger,    but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire."Learn more about John's approach and resources at his website:https://gentle-response.com/"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
