Today when I was returning home on Calumet Blvd, there was an altercation going on in the middle of the road.
A golf cart was stopped on the side and a car was cross ways in the street and two guys were yelling at each other using the same insults, "Idiot" "Moron." I tried to calm them down, but to no avail, in fact, they were starting to direct their sidelong comments toward me.
It appears that each thought the other failed to yield or some such thing. In any event, they challenged each other to a fist fight. Like two bulls, or teenagers, (whichever applies) they were nose to nose shouting insults. By this time, traffic was stopped in every which direction, all cockeyed in the street. Now, some guys who were up on the Lopez green came down to the road and helped me try to calm things.
It appeared for a long while that the two were going to do battle.
They separated three different times and came back at each other.
Finally, they parted company, still shouting at each other. One guy said in parting, "you better hope I never catch to when you are alone."
I was sure that it was gong to be an all out brawl, but thankfully not. I haven't seen that kind of thing in a long time. They just would not cool down. It was pretty ugly.
