The Protector

By fuck - 14/08/2011 19:31 - United States

Today, while out shopping, I noticed a seedy bum kept following a girl around the store. Trying to be a good samaritan, I trailed them into the street. The bum jogged up behind her and looked like he was about to grab her, so I ran up and tackled him to the ground. Turns out he was her father. FML

thank you for trying to do the right thing, but I'm sorry it didn't go the way you thought it would.

Most stalkers start out as "Good samaritans" :P ... and didn't you notice them at the checkout together because they must have spoke to each other at some point

Absolutely this. If the guy decided to press charges, he'd be within his rights to do so. This wasn't 'protecting a girl,' it was 'assaulting some poor guy'.

My interpretation is that it seems like the dad was maybe watching her, in which case - in theory - the dad should've been grateful to OP, LOL

this is y I just mind my business cuz when u try to do stuff rite, it end up being wrong

Hey, you prevented possible incest! That's good enough for you.

It's good that you were watching out for her, but YDI for tackling the guy before stopping to comprehend the situation. That guy sure as hell didn't deserve to be tackled. I can just see the other side of this: Today, I was shopping with my daughter, when a stranger suddenly ran up and tackled me to the ground. Apparently, he thought I was some bum who was stalking her. FML.

Glad to know some people look out for you!

exactly. notify someone who works there, or simply go up to and ask him wtf hes doing. why the hell would you go creeping around after him? who does that? and you then only do something when the guy is about to grab her...but not when he is actually committing a crime? sigh. this just has stupid written all over it.
