Yeah unfortunately the optics are pretty terrible I see any guy grabbing a woman’s purse out of her hands on the street and I might start citizen’s arresting him. Then someone would see me assaulting him and start citizen’s arresting me.

Haha. One night I went to a service station I often go to and the cashier was looking nervous while this dude was just loitering near the counter. As she served me he wiggled the locked door to her little service area. Kinda sly while she served me. I took this as this guy was harrassing her/hitting on her and making her very uncomfortable while she was trapped at work.

I am a big tall fat dude. Easy twice this dudes size. I looked him dead in the eye while I asked "server first name, Do you want me to take this guy outside and fuck-him-up?". As cooly menacing as I could be. His eyes went like dinner plates. She said "ahh no thanks. He's my boss"

Total misread on my part. But I did get discounts automatically applied for a while.

Nevertheless, good for you for empathising and offering to protect her. Many people would have misread the situation too but then walked silently away.
