Hasslin' the man

So tonight after having talked with a couple of girls for a long time, we all decided to go home from where we were catching some late night snacks. As they were getting into a taxi, a couple of guys came up and started hassling them. One guy - who was with the two girls - (so in other words a good guy) came out to speak with the two guys but wasn't getting anywhere. So I came up and said, in these exact words, "Hey guys, lay off, just let them go home."

Rather than just let it fly, they hit me with this junk, "Hey man, I'm South African." So what? It's not like I run around hassling girls and when people tell me to ease off I just say, "Hey, I'm an American" and go back to causing trouble. The worst part is, saying something like this will get you in serious trouble around here. That's unfortunate, because sometimes guys deserve to get clocked for their crappy treatment of women, men, whatever. Pisses me off, big time.
