She wasn’t arguing with Hell’s Angels, she hoped to stop kids from hurting each other. Big difference.
“(as she’s getting dressed to leave the new guy’s place in the morning.)” So you suggest that she’s a slut because creeps beat her boyfriend up? Maybe this changes her life forever and she relives the day, wishing she hadn’t run frightened and crying to the man she loved, wishing he hadn’t been such a good samaritan (i.e., voluntarily offering his help in times of trouble). After they turned on her, she probably didn’t want her boyfriend to go against those odds. Don’t men have the ability to say ‘no’?
She’s not the evil one here unless they provide info to the contrary. The yutes who beat a man for trying to help them are the problem.
Yeah,, she got in the middle of it, barely escaped, so she made her BF go “do something!” (wade into a hostile crowd of 40 angry, drunk, and stoned skaters) Her stupidity got that man almost killed, probably has all kinds of head injuries. And for what? To stop two the Jets and the Sharks from having a rumble.
And i got a bridge to sell you if you think she’ll be there to nurse him around for the rest of his life, especially if he is in a coma, a wheelchair, can’t speak, etc. She’ll make it into a drama about how she was the victim (lost her BF ya know) and leave him in her wake.
A guy is a blithering idiot to go fight because a chick goads him into it.
“Maybe this changes her life forever and she relives the day, wishing she hadn’t run frightened and crying to the man she loved”
Bada bing! Changed HER life forever? HER life? He’s the one with the shattered skull in extremely critical condition.
And i bet she will indeed relive that day, again and again. And she’ll tell her new guy all about it by the end of the summer. And she’ll tell him how it “like, totally changed her life”.
Thats the way to bet. But maybe im wrong, maybe she’ll get a job, marry him so he can have her health insurance, and then dedicate her life to getting him through rehab, and then taking care of his special needs. (surrrrre, she will)
She may not be a slut. She IS definitely an idiot, and the guy (if he recovers) would be wise to never see her again.
