ATTENTION FRIENDS AND FAMILY, please read! This morning, I intervened between a young girl and her, presumably, boyfriend/lover as he chased her down the street attempting to physically assault her. I had her get in my car, and when her assaulter followed her to my passenger side window, sticking his entire upper torso inside my car and throwing wild punches clearly aimed at beating her into submission and dragging her back out, even catching me once across my jaw, I hit the gas until he could no longer keep up and fell hard into the road. A 911 call and an hour later, I declined to press charges against the assailant for either assault or robbery (since technically he was breaking into my car when attempting to get the girl back out)... I explained to the responding officer that I had no animosity to the assailant and had no desire to wreak havoc on his life; my sole concern was for the safety and well-being of the girl. However, after talking about the incident with numerous coworkers - I was just leaving my house on my way to Outback when the incident took place shortly before 7am - my mind cannot let go of the look of pure terror on the girls face when she first got into my car. No words can aptly describe the pure, all-consuming fear I witnessed in her expression for roughly a minute. I have been a random good Samaritan before on numerous occasions, and will continue to be whenever I have the opportunity to be, but this was the first time in my life I saw someone literally freeze before me in terror. For a few brief moments after the attacker fell to the street, I thought he might have died. He didnt... far from it, in fact - when I circled back around towards my house about ten minutes later, he actually had the nerve to approach my car again until my neighbor stepped in to hold him back. However, after reflecting upon the incident, I cannot honestly say I would have felt any remorse if his fall had indeed killed him. My disgust of his cruel, brutal, dehumanizing behaviors towards the girl overpowers any sense of respect i have for HIS life. At least so far - it still hasnt even been 12 hours since everything happened. Im not sure how to feel about this realization though...
