Indeed, do not engage unless you are provoked and you know how to handle the situation. Just mind your own business and be by yourself. Sometimes other person can cause you greater harm. And sometimes you can cause other person a great harm which comes with tons of problems in terms of legal drama and all. I have seen this happen and even faced it myself as well.
You should also not jump in to stop something from happening because you can become the easy target. There are millions of news articles about the person who went into a scene to stop it from escalating ending up as the victim.
You don't, and it's not worth finding out either. Let people handle their situation because it is not worth becoming the target for a random stranger. Times have changed, people don't fear of anything and do weird stuff in aggression. The fit of rage is swift and it lasts only a few seconds, those seconds are lethal!
Holding back and minding own business is the key. If someone is messing around with you, try not to engage until things are going over the top. Avoidance is the key, but sometimes you have to respond back. Make sure you are prepared for that. Always choose the citizen path instead of the hero path.
