On my way out of the store, I see a scuffle taking place out of the corner of my eye. I don’t want to look, but my fear is begging me to at least see how close it is to me. I look over and there are 3 men having a hard time holding back another man, who was screaming obscenities at yet another man.

A crowd started to gather to watch and record, and I thought maybe I should intervene, even just to cause a momentary distraction. As I was contemplating approaching these 5 large men, an onlooker next to me asked another person “Do you know what’s going on?”

“I saw the whole thing”, she said. “They spit in his face for nothing! Just walked up to him and spit! Now they’re acting like they don’t know why he’s angry. I’d be pissed too!”

Dang that’s really nasty, I thought. I decided to leave them all there to figure things out for themselves. Thankfully my car was in the other direction.
