Amen to that!

In this mob situation, I'm high-tailing it unless I see someone in dire distress AND I believe my intervention will actually help, rather than worsen, the situation. I was once attacked by a mob in downtown Washington, DC, believe it or not. I was young(er) and dumber, for sure, and could have avoided the situation entirely had I just shut my yap.

I was utterly convinced both my fiance and I were dead. I tried to shoo her away but, God love her, she was having none of that. But after surrounding us and shieking all manner of racially-tinged deprecations and bloodcurdling threats, they stood down just as suddenly as they had appeared, and let us pass.
