34. Years ago I was with a group heading to the National Karate Championship

Jan 2019

in Virginia. Everybody on the bus was going to participate in the championship, including a handful of black belts. At a MacDonalds at a few hours away from our destination this guy decided that he wanted to pick a fight with one of our guys (a really nice black guy who just happened to be the black belt champion for our state). The other guys positioned themselves to assist Henry should he needed it. The rest of just stood by to watch would have been a major ass whooping if the guy was that stupid. This guy has no idea what he was up against. His friends, probably having a gut instinct that they needed to get their friend out of there got him to leave. Henry would not have started a fight but he would have finished it.
