Hello DV,

It's been a while. I had a bit of an event last night, and wanted to discuss it online so I thought it would be a good idea to come here.
Here's what happened:

I was taking the train last night after work when these two kids (16-18 years old) who looked like they were up to no good got on. Sitting in front of me was a lady in her 40's with short hair, and in front of her a younger lady, maybe 22. One of the guys sat down, while the other one started looking up and down at each of us. He went up to the younger lady and stared at her, she just ignored him. He started trying to get everyone's attention saying stuff like "Oh you think you're too good for me, is that it? Let me sit with you babe" at this point the 40ish year old woman told him to sit down before he got himself or someone else hurt. The guy started calling her names and something along the lines of "I can't even tell whether you're a guy or a girl with that haircut" at which point I jumped in. I said to him he was being disrespectful and to grab a sit and just leave everyone alone. He lost it and started telling me to fuck off, "I wasn't talking to you, you ****ing spic, who the **** do you think you are". I told him he was causing unnecessary trouble, and to again sit down and just leave us alone. He walked towards me so I braced myself to jump at him in case he tried anything. The train came to a stop, and both him and his friend walked towards the exit. He stood at the exit and told me that if I had anything to say to him that I should come outside and say it then, I stayed sitting and said "I'm good" with a smile in my face. He got off and that was the end of it.

I told my girlfriend about the incident and she thinks it was stupid of me to do that because I could have gotten killed, as they could have had a knife, or worse yet a gun. But I honestly think that it was the right thing to do, they were harassing these two women who were minding their own business, and if no one stands up to these people they will just keep doing it and who knows how that could end.

What do you guys think?
