Keep this in mind, please.

Been following the latest Diddy/Jay Z revelations and instantly go to comments.

Most of the youtube videos are a waste of time.

The comments are often golden, though.

The latest is Jay Z and Diddy abusing a 13 year old 24 years ago.

People commenting, how would parents allow a 13 year old to go out at night?

Others comment, "most parents do not", these are trafficked kids. It is not for a chance at fame or fortune.

Usually, just a sex trafficked kid. The kid might be thinking of fame and fortune, but the parents?

NO!

Got me thinking. Called my mom. There is a story of when i was 5 years old and my father scalped a man that tried to grab me.

She did not answer, so i will relay story as remembered, but add additional comment after talking to her if my story is inaccurate in any way.

Riverside, California and my mom is sitting on the lawn in one of those 70's plastic chairs knitting while watching me play on front lawn with toys in the grass.

Dad comes out to sit on porch and smoke a cigarette and drink a beer.

He has huge situational awareness. He spent 2 years as lead botswain during vietnam to handle ropes. Navy guys will understand.

He notices these 2 guys on a motorcycle circle the house and takes notice how they circle.

He said to me, "intentional circle or they are stupid and took note immediately"

Mom is clueless, but Dad is watching as they circle.

They are clueless at this point that my Dad is aware. He took a clever concealed position. Stopped smoking and set the beer down.

The final pass.

He saw them round the corner the final time.

He ran.

The guy in back of motorcycle ran to grab me.

He saw my Dad running at him and made the smart decision to abort.

As they rode away, my Dad grabbed the guy on back of motorcycle hair. He did not release the grip.

Scalped him.

Just as he would have tightened his grip on the USS Ticonderoga or USS Galveston during his 2 year stint.

Thank you Father! Such a great man. If i messed up story at all, after talking to my mother, will add.

Men like my Dad are rare today and crazy that he always felt he did not measure up, being raised by WW2 warriors.

The world today is so messed up, but!

Huge hope for future. Good things happening!
