[Age of Reason]

You don't get to claim fear for your life, after reinserting yourself into harms way.

You have evidence that he was in harm's way before he left his seat to complain to management?

If not, then he wasn't "reinserting" himself into harms way, but at most simply "reinserting" himself into annoyance way.

Good point, I don’t know if he was in any harm. I was inadvertently giving the badge polishers something to cling to. Thanks for pointing out my false assumption.
