I see a bunch of teenagers across from a high school beating and kicking this kid. I was going in the opposite direction plenty of cars around. I drove until I could make a left and drove down to where these kids were pulled up and honked my horn and screamed what the fuck they were big kids of different ethnicities and thought about getting out of my car but held back. Luckily the kid was able to get up and I drove away. I kicked myself that I didnt call the police but there were so many cars and people walking around and no one did anything. I got home 5 minutes later and told my hubby who said I should have called the police. This was not ok but why didnt other people stop and confront them? There were about 7-8 big heavy kids and Im a 62 year old woman who would be outmatched. Im thinking of that kid tonight and I hope hes ok. Bullies today in orange maggots America get away because the illegitimate Russian asset president is a big asshole bully.
