He was in Portland and had a bicycle. So he had all the rights. And you were in Portland fumbling for keys to what? A car? In Portland? You are lucky you didn’t get strung up from the nearest light-rail sign. ---

> [@ToeJam](#): > > He could have simply been mentally unstable and just ranting w/o the intent of racism,… I’d say you nailed it. An insult towards a vehicle owner by a **lonely** adult on a bike selling flowers ? I mean who looks like the loser here ? What weight could his insult possibly carry ? Only within his own limited mind. Leave it at that. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Meaning what, exactly? I suppose I could have set my bags down and punched the guy out, but that’s really not my nature, and it probably would have gotten me arrested. I’m tough enough at six feet and 230 pounds, but am 62 years old. I suppose _you_ would have just laced him with a few snarky comments and watched him shrivel into helplessness. . . I think the point is; what’s with the pseudo threats? Let’s just agree the guy is an asshole. No need to imply that you will beat the snot out of him should you ever see him. Sounds slightly juvenile if you ask me. I think you handled the situation perfectly. ---
