NOTE: This is a true story that I felt I had to share. While I know the names of the guys, in order to protect there identites I'm going to be vauge on the names. I'll lessen the violence and the graphic nature of it, but you may be offended by it. Don't say I didn't warn you!
I was sitting at work today (got here a little early... around 12) when I heard a large comotion outside on the street, so me being nosy went to go investigate it and I found two larger guys beating up on a smaller guy. What got me going was what they were shouting...
"FAG!" "HOMO!" "COCKSUCKER" All the while punching him and kicking him. I ran over to break it up when one of the guys threw the kid down to the ground. When he went down I yelled to them to break it up now. They paused to look at me and the one kid took off, while the other stayed there and kept beating the victim up. The victim was on the sidewalk curled up in a fetal position holding his head with his arms and the bully didn't let up till I pried him off using a technique that they teach lifeguards to get people off of others. I got behind him and wrapped my one arm around him while I grabbed his wrist and applied a little pressure.
I held the kid back while he kept trying to go after the victim. I yelled for the victim to run into the garage and into the booth and use the phone to call the police and lock himself in the booth. Meanwhile Mary here's me yelling and comes out to see what's going on. I yell for her to grab the victim and take him into the booth and call the police. A few minutes later while i'm still holding the kid who's struggling to get away, the police come and break me and him up. They grab me and the kid and I explain to the officers what happened and while they didn't believe me at first, the victim comes out of the booth with Mary right behind him watching him like a mother lion protecting her cub.
The police take my statement and the victims and thats when it hit me, how I was gonna sink the bully's case of he started it. I explained to the officers that the kid needs to be charged with a Hate Crime becuase of assulting someone for their sexual identity, whether or not the kid knew it. I reinforced the point with explaining what the bully was yelling and also went to support the kid.
The police look at me and I just give them a I'm not gonna mess around with this and moments later, I see the police slap the cuffs on the kid. When I ask what's going on, they explain that they ran his ID and found taht he's on probation and that he violated it by fighting and commiting a felony (hate crime). So the bully's led away and I stick with the victim who's still in shock and I noticed that he's bleeding profusley from his nose. I run inside the booth where we have a first aid kit and grab some gause and gloves and put them on, and hold the gause under the kids nose and tilt his head foreward.
An ambulance arrives and takes the victim away, but i'm not gonna forget what he did before they loaded him on the strecher. He looked at me and gave me a huge hug, and said that I was his guardian angel. When he left, the officer told me that I was lucky that I could've been charged with various offenses and I told him I know, but that helping someone who needed it was worth any penalty that I would be charged with, and I explained to him that I was willing to go through with it. The officer looked at me and smiled and patted me on the shoulder saying that he wasn't going to because I helped the kid and that was enough for him (Thank GOD for honest cops!) and because my shirt is covered in blood, he gave me a shirt to wear and told me that I could keep it (it has the Red Bank PD logo on it 
)
So, I helped defend a kid and was called a guaridan angel today, and I now have mary telling me that this is my passion, to help kids and this proved it.
