• And remember:  If you encounter a heckler or counter-protester (organized or unorganized, from a simple raised finger to a verbal taunt), the rule of thumb is to IGNORE IT!! Do not engage. If necessary, simply turn your back - or walk away. For more on how to de-escalate, check out these new guidelines, and click HERE for other tips.
