“I am speaking out!”

I was locking my bike up outside a bank and witnessed three fellows spill out of a local eatery. As they crossed the street, three young women and a fellow were walking down the sidewalk. One of the aforementioned three fellows started in with, “Oooh baby,” and, “Hey girls,” towards the group.

When he got no response he said to the gals’ guy friend, “Buddy, I’ll trade you the one in the yellow for the bread I have in my pocket.”

The target group looked so uncomfortable. I felt soooo uncomfortable that I took a deep breath and yelled across the street, “You, stop harassing these women.”

The perp and his friends booed me, but the young women thanked me.

I witness, hear about, and am subjected to this bullshit daily. I am speaking out!! As a side note….the perp and his friends were heading to a strip club.
