Have you ever had to fear for your life?

Fear of being beaten down in public by some very grim enemies?

I have said some things throughout my life which have truly stirred people, although I never truly expected people to get violent and not want to hurt me for it, I just expected everyone to want to talk it out.

I had another thing coming.

People keep coming up reminding me that there is this looming fear of being hurt, mamed, or killed above my head, by some very wicked people whom I have really really rubbed the wrong way with words.

I really really wanna know if anyone else has been in this position.
