I didn't feel taunting him with words would be enough, and only could see myself standing in front of him, blocking his view, daring him to push me away. Unfortunately, I saw that ending badly as I got a first hand view of the Sumter Co sherriff's office! I am a little larger, and a little younger than this idiot, and I felt too that this would have turned me into the bully. Granted, he might have just moved, but I had to be ready for the alternative.

So I just stewed for awhile and called the guy all kinds of names under my breath.

Nothing else I could have done would have changed anything.

It was just such a shame to see some one acting like this in such an otherwise friendly environment.
