I lived near Sherbourne Avenue and Queen Street in Toronto for three stints of four months each. On any fifteen minute walk I'd see confrontations like this going on all the time. I stayed out of them. It was impossible to assess who was at fault or who was instigating what.
I didn't consider myself "brave" or a "coward". I considered myself ruthless with how i spend my time. If I got involved in every yelling/shoving altercation I'd be 30 minutes late for work every day.
I don't have the time to get involved in every mild physical confrontation I see. Queen and Sherbourne is a fucking warzone filled with barely coherent, borderline sane/insane people. its sorta like a popular video game franchise called "Borderlands".

Yeah I guess if it was such a common occurrence one couldn't help but tune it out after awhile. Where I live is very tame in comparison.
