11. i might give the girl in black a membership to the local boxing gym

she was kinda egged into it by the other girl

[woolldog]

13. She took so many punches to the face

without even flinching. I was thinking, fight back! Then she finally stood up for herself against that bully. Good for her.

12. C'mon! They're not cops.

Civilians can't be allowed to get away with assaulting people no matter what.
