Another example of non-violence working

at my first Gathering, I was on a trail when I heard loud screaming coming from a man. I walked over to see a hulking, 6'2" dude, towering over a small couple and wielding a knife. The man had to be at least 33 years old. The couple were in their teens and were particularly scrawny looking. The man was fuming and yelled, at the top of his lungs in a thick, southern accent: "you said I slept with your wife!" Meanwhile, the couple were stunned and frightened, and a mob of people were beginning to gather. Suddenly, one sister, who's name I forget, said, "let's Om." Fifty people started oming at the guy, and he just got more crazy looking, but then, suddenly, he mellowed out and just walked off.
