Yay! I was a victim on a hate crime!

I twisted my ankle getting on the bus (slipped off the curb) I had a seat, but after a bit some old guy came up, and jabbed me in the shoulder and said "Get up boy, I wanna sit there." I replied, "no... you were extremely rude, and I have a sore ankle, I would rather sit." He said "Tough shit, get the hell up." I replied, "No. Go ask someone

hugs you.

It's people like that that make me really angry, holier than thou. I'm sorry, being Christian doesn't entitle you to belitte, beat up or other wise act like a jerk! some one needs to read his bible again and realize he's the sinner and has totally missed the whole point!

What a jerk. But it's probably good that you didn't attack him back. That would likely have made things worse for you.

What you do in those cases, if you've got a cellphone camera or something, is to take his photo, as well as the hole from your "No on prop 8" button. Also get some eyewitness accounts from the people on the bus, and report the bastard to the police. Assault is assault.

Also, when someone STARTS hitting you on the bus, make someone pass the word to the bus driver right away. Don't let it evolve.

Excuse me, but don't you have a cel phone? 911. Assault. Sue the guy and take his house. Why didn't you?

Or, if you're sitting, reach out and grab his jangles and squeeze with every ounce of strength in your grip.

Seconded.

Live the American dream: Sue someone and get rich! And grab life by the balls!
