I just read about the American hero of the terrorist on the French train getting slashed by a bunch of men outside of a nightclub. The news reports are saying that this does not appear to be a terrorist-payback, and in fact the attackers have been labeled as "Asian" (although that term is sometimes used to refer to dark-white folks). Perhaps the attackers were Indonesian Muslims.

But if there is not this payback angle, it must be just nightclub mayhem. It seems that in my day, folks went outside to fight with fists; now even if they don't use a gun, they use a knife. For what? To be shot down by super stuck-up dumpy American women?

The station also quoted a night clerk at the liquor store across the street from the fight, saying he believed the altercation began over a woman he saw fighting with another man. The employee, Eric Cain, was quoted as saying Stone then intervened with the man "and kinda got in his face."

To show up as the 'white knight' is plainly wrong, and sometimes dangerous too. Stay away.

'Rescued women' near bars late night are often in a relationship with thugs and are known not to be thankful either despite receiving beatings from a violent boyfriend.

Do not interfere, and if you want to 'help' use a mobile phone and call the police.
