They flagged down a police officer? What the hell is wrong with society that when they hear a child screaming for help, they wring their hands and look for a cop instead of grabbing the nearest blunt object and rushing to defend the child?
That being said, had I witnessed that happening, I would have done something that I shall not print here for fear of being banned from FR permanently.
Absolute subhuman debris...
My wrath would not only be directed at the animal who committed the crime but at those who allowed him.
A roll of nickels were used by women (or men) as a form of self defense in the old days. Not a bad idea. I have been thinking about what can be helpful weapons to carry. I have a pocket knife with me in my pocket book.
