You are walking along Franklin and turn onto West Tupper. You almost run into a guy grabbing a woman by the hair, yelling at her that she shouldn't make him hit her. he hits her. what do you do?
I'll let (e:Dianne) tell her story...
pix are Sunday night, Monday morning, Tuesday morning.
Glad you are safe, Dianne. It takes a lot of courage to step up to an ongoing fight. However, I always worry about things taking a turn for the worse and guns getting involved. Sending out good vibes to you!
ILU Dianne, you stepped in where a lot of people wouldn't. He only got a fraction of what's coming for him.
I admire your courage. That girl might be back with that loser, but your actions may have shown her that there are people who care about other people, and you might have made a difference, even if only in a small way.
(e:dianne) you are indeed brave.

Dianne, I don't know you that well, but you're pretty freaking awesome!
Okay so here's the story: I had gone for a walk and was walking up Tupper when I saw a guy with his hand wrapped around his girlfriend head with her hair and yelling at her "why do want to make me hit you in public" and then reached back and back handed her through the face, at this point I can't just walk by so i yelled at him"dude you can't do that man" he tells me to mind my own business and I tell him I'd like to but you can't be hitting on her man! At the same time his girlfriend is trying to walk off, he grabs her arm and I in turn grabbed his arm, he let go of her and turned and threw a punch at me, I pulled back as to miss this punch to the face and he just caught my right cheek bone (it would have been my left eye and probably a broken nose had I not tried to dodge it) it didn't knock me down but it sure pissed me off, I said mother fucker (because it hurt) I yelled "Hey!" He turned to look at me and I laid one to the dude in his face/head, knocked him on the ground! At the same time their friends were coming out and all I saw was two guys coming so I quickly yelled "girl, girl, I'm a girl!" The two girls and one guy were consoling the girl who was letting them know I came up because he had hit her, one guy tended to his friend on the ground and as they got up he told me we've got him, sorry about that! I walked off and came home where (e:) Heidi iced my eye! I know I should have called the police or fine inside for help, but I reacted to the situation instead! I know she's probably back with his sorry ass today, but at least she didn't die that night!
So there's the story and just for the record I hate fighting, I'm a lover not a fighter, I don't like to hit or be hit, but unfortunately it happens sometimes and I just can't walk by and do nothing! I haven't been in a fight since I was 18 and let me tell you my eye hurts like HELL, but I have no regrets!
Go Dianne. Heidi, this is exactly what glitter mace would be used for.
