I needed to get that off my chest.
The way I see it...you were assaulted, verbally and physically and you acted in self-defense. Then he assaulted the police officer.
I hope they see it the same way DD, if not they are losing a damn good employee.
The holiday season seems to bring the nutcases out of the woodwork.
I was in the parking lot at Walmart two days ago unloading my cart and some lady in her 60's was mumbling to herself at the car next to me, then I go to return my cart, she returns hers...and calls me a "piece of trash" and yells at the SO "don't run me over" as she walks in back of our car.
Didn't know her, didn't do anything to her, didn't say anything to her...had my head down trying to load up my groceries.
Pretended like I didn't hear it and said "excuse me, I didn't hear what you said?"
Was a bit disappointed when she didn't repeat it though and got in her car and left...I had a quick fantasy about trying to shove a shopping cart up her ass.
The more I'm around people, the more I wish I didn't have to be.
