A couple years ago, hubs and I pulled up to a red light, and saw two kids just about like those in this video run up at an old guy who was walking down the street. Hubs puts on signal to turn right to try to scare the kids off, and next thing we know, the old guy has both those kids on the ground and is just wailing on them. Kids run off.

We pull up, hubs laughingly asks old guy if he needs help. Old guy got a huge smile on his mug, and says "Nah, I think I'm okay, they probably won't bother me anymore." Hubs says..."Guess not".

It was great.
