i grew up in the ghetto. i know exactly what you mean. you are lucky you were able to drive away and never come back. imagine having them know where you live, and have them waiting for you every time you leave the house. call the police, tell them theres a street gang camped out in your front yard, the police say, we are busy, have your parents call later. one day a kid was climbing thru the kitchen window, and i hit him with a baseball bat. another night, two men were crawling thru the living room, when my mom was sleeping on the couch. she woke up and thought they were us kids, and started talking to them, and they got scared and left, but it could have got ugly real easy. general rule of thumb, the more of them there are in a group, the more likely they are to start shit.
I don't live in Boston, I live outside of it and I wasn't worried about that. You don't put your hands on my wife and think you can get away with it. A cop could have been right next to us and I would have done the same thing.
There are red lines you don't cross and must pay the price for doing so. And I wasn't wild swinging or pulling hair. People generally understand when someone knows what they are doing and back off out of self preservation.
They also understood that it was my wife and that I was willing to go to any length to protect her. Even animals understand when to walk away.
im glad you stuck up for your wife and yourself.
similar thing happened to my wife. she wanted to go to a rap concert, in the ghetto, and i was like hell no, and she's like what the matter? are you racist? and I'm like, not really, but i can assure you that someone else in the crowd will be... against you! and she's from a small rural town, so she's never had to deal with this kind of thing... so she went alone, and sure enough, before the show even started, a girl in the crowd grabbed wife's hair from behind, and yanked it hard. wife didn't respond. girls yanked her hair again, so wife turns and faces this girl. around this time, security shows up, and wife and girl are about to get thrown out, but the crowd turned on the girl, said the girl started it, that wife didn't do anything wrong, so security let wife stay, and threw the other girl out.
she got lucky. In my experience, wife would have got jumped by like 5 girls at the same time, then wife would have been thrown out of venue, and got beat up again outside. then robbed. and maybe even shot.
