Went to the store with my mother. Trying to pick out a decent birthday present for my sister .. who has the unfortunate luck to have a birthday on a holiday. In this case..valentines day. Anyhow...not the point of this story. The reason this was not a sighting is that it did not occur inside a place of business.
We parked pretty far away..even though I now have a disabled placard I can use, I know people much worse off then me need the spots more then I do. Plus I do like to walk as much as my legs will allow me. We get to the cart holding place (the ones outside the building) and my mom went to get a cart. Suddenly MIG (Mr Important Guy) shoves my mother out of the way to retrieve the last cart in that cart corral.
Now I could care less about the cart, we could wait until we get inside..that is not a big deal. When somebody physically assaults my mother, however, the beast is unleashed. I saw red. What happened next is just a blur..I remember that my cane was on the ground..and MIG's feet were not. Pain was forgotten, my legs were suddenly strong enough not only to support me, but MIG also. I think there was a conversation, and a stammered apology to my mom from MIG..but I can not be positive. I DO know there were two people in uniform ordering me to set MIG down. Have no clue how long I must have had MIG up..for uniformed people to have been able to arrive. Unfortunately for MIG, I was not listening. Fortunately for MIG my mom simply said "Let him go." Which snapped me back into myself.
The police asked bystanders what happened, they let them know MIG had shoved first. Still they had to ask MIG if he wanted to press charges, and I have no idea why he said no..but I know that as soon as they had gotten our statements..MIG had much better places to be. So...I almost ended up behind bars today...how was your day?
