You picked the wrong victim asshole

The perps

The four of them were standing on the corner as I approached. It was a busy bar area with several people milling about. No cause for concern here. A safe place for a woman walking alone at night.

As I walked past the four of them, for no reason in particular, the first one slapped my ass. They laughed. All four of them. It seems that they had done this before. It was normal for them.

Oh really?

My revenge

I kept on walking. Past perp #2. Past perp #3. When I got to perp #4, I stopped and faced him. With everything that I had in me, I slapped him across the face and said:

“Give that to your fucking friend!”

And then I kept walking. They had picked the wrong victim. You see, while assaulting women was normal for them, defending myself was normal for me.

It was true 35 years ago, and it’s true today.
