A sad testament to what we've become.

Today was shopping day, as are most Saturdays. There wasn't much different about it as we headed out. We had breakfast and did our shopping and I was getting ready to leave the parking lot when we saw a man literally attacking another man, punching and kicking him. The victim was wailing and I recognized him as a man who passed by us when we were

Horrible/excessive reaction by the attacker.

[spikesgirl58]

Seriously. I could understand being pissed and holding him for the cops, but not the beating.

That's what we've always been. History has... a small part of it down I guess.

Sadly, it's true. I suspect I've been lucky to avoid such violence for most of my life.

I'm calling bullshit on the break in and I'm glad that you blocked the attacker so he couldn't get away

[spikesgirl58]

Thanks. We had to do something.

People are very scary these days. I'm very glad you were there to call 911 and to block the attacker from leaving. I hope the person attacked will be okay.

I'm just glad he didn't have a gun. You just can't tell with people today.

There is such rage in so many these days and it seems that it can't be controlled. That kind of attack on the guy was beyond excessive. It may well be that the attacker left the car unlocked and stuff inside and didn't want that to be known. Ugh. I can't stand the violent attitudes today. I'm glad you and others stepped in so the police could take care of it.

I agree. The truck seemed strangely untouched for being broken into and I saw no broken windows. The homeless guy looked about as dangerous as a wilted lettuce.

I'm just glad no one had a gun.
