Melissa to the Rescue
I always joke around about wanting to be Wonder Woman. As a kid, I ran around in Wonder Woman Under-roos.
Anyway, as I walked home from dinner this evening, I noticed a couple arguing in the street. The guy had this girl by her elbow and was dragging her along the sidewalk. It took a second to register, but when I realized what was going on, I started walking faster towards them. By the time I got close enough, he pushed her into one of those planters and kept shoving her further and further in… yelling about something.
What did I do? Well, I can tell you that I wasn’t thinking when I ran over and started yelling at the guy to back off. Other people stopped, but no one else tried to prevent anything else from happening. I realize it wasn’t a smart thing to do, but my first reaction was to save this girl. He ended up walking away and didn’t even turn back. Luckily, he didn’t try to use his beer muscles on me.
Look, I don’t care what she did to you in a bar, or how pissed off you might be. You DON’T drag a girl around and shove her over and over again into a planter on the street.
Oh, I’m so sorry that I didn’t clock him in the head. My adrenaline is still pumping.

That’s really commendable.
U r right that to act the way u did is fraught with danger. In a lunatic world, he could just forget about that girl and go ballistic on you. However, just being a bystander or worse, ignoring it is no excuse.
You did the right thing girl……!!
excellent work, melissa! now you just need some bullet deflecting bracelets and a truth lasso.
