“I didn’t want things to escalate.”

Jun 21, 2011

I was walking to a kickball game and these two guys were walking in front of me, talking really loudly and cursing a lot. They kept looking back at me and saying things like “sexy girl coming up.” I crossed the street and they yelled at me, “What, are you a racist? You had to […]

I was dragging my suitcase, was tired and hungry, and was pretty oblivious to my surroundings (especially since this walk is also part of my daily commute). I had just passed the Rite Aid and was […]
