Hitting Is Never Okay


So I came out of the train this morning and felt a whack on my arm. I looked up and this crazy old black dude was standing there, flashing gang symbols at me. I couldn't tell if he was trying to get money, or just saying good morning. But either way, it scared the shit out of me. So I stood there for a minute and watched him, and he did the same thing to others who were coming out of the train. And every person had the same look on their face afterwards. Like, "what the fuck just happened?!" I don't think he was trying to hurt anybody. I think he was just trying to get attention or money or maybe just human contact. I felt bad for him. So when a police car drove by, I told the officer that there was a crazy black dude standing at the entrance to the train station hitting people. I felt it was the least I could do.
