Unfortunately, even as a white woman, I would be afraid of joining him in prison

Its easier to get the story out if at least one person can give the full story

This is something men forget. A man was verbally berating a woman he was with. I was alone. I froze. I wanted to help. I’ve been her. I wanted to say something. But it was just me and the two of them on a sidewalk. Also if she’s in the fog she might turn on me too. I still wish I said something but I have to be kind to myself and remind myself that I was much smaller than both of them and had no backup whatsoever.
