ReplyDeleteThat is why I always say, "Never get involved". I drive right past stranded motorists, hitchhikers, accidents, cars in ditches, crying children.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine saw a man beating his wife outside a convenience store. He got involved, and ended up getting a beating from both the Husband and the wife who was getting the beating! I knew better, but called the police. I was working at the store at the time.

ReplyDeleteHe should have just called 911.
ReplyDeleteI would say sue them but something is saying, he will not get anything but a set of 21 inch wheels and a boom box.
