battle wounds
Posted on September 04, 2003
To make a long story short this is how I got my little battle wound today. I was walking back toward Masako and Frankie at Machida Sta. after buying a ticket and I saw she was tring to get a young teenager with his girl friend to put out his cigarette inside the station. When I returned he was still holding the smoke as Masako repeatedly asked him to butt it out. He gave the common yeah, yeah, yeah defense but wasn't budging. He finally got the message that we were not leaving untill he did what we asked and broke off the burning tip and tossed the still burning cigarette at Masako. I lunged forward and gave him a good hard punch/shove in the shoulder. He came right back at me but never tried anything. We went face to face for a few seconds as I egged him on some and his girl friend pleaded with him to just go. We walked away laughing a little and seemed to make him even more angry by the looks of his face red. Masako and I both tought he was just tring to impress his girl but obviously failed miserably. I didn't think he got a chance to hit me but noticed three red marks on my inner arm from his nails, a few minutes later.

Wow, this campaing is escalating. I don't think I could have held back either, even though I'm a nonviolent person. I like the idea of young mothers laying down the law.

Well done!- it's good to see someone is making a stand. It seems that all too often 'no smoking' signs are nothing more than a suggestion.
