This has been sticking with me since 4:30 this afternoon November 1st when it happened so I figured some writing to vent would help. I was catching the bus home from some errands in the rain it was lovely. This older gentleman got on the bus and proceeded to sit next to two young ladies that did not speak English well or where feigning ignorance at him hounding them for their names. I was letting it slide until he was getting in their faces and they didn't know what to say so I stepped in and said sir I know you are trying but you are making us uncomfortable please stop. The older Gentleman said something I was taken aback to "its none of your business their Asian they are supposed to be smart" I said a can appreciate that but your making us uncomfortable he told me " shut your mouth you woman" okay at this point I was holding back considerable anger as I've been working with abused women and this was just not okay to be happening on Public Transit. The bus driver did stop to ask if everyone was okay and said to the older guy you have been warned before but I said it was fine as he shut up for the time being. Moments later he is back to harassing them so I again say that's enough. At this point he proceeds to say " I hope you get home safely my people are everywhere" my anger got the best of me and I blurted out do not threaten me his words were I don't threaten. It was at that point a boy no more than 16 sat beside me to ensure this guy didn't hurt me. A boy. That hurt and made me proud at the same time. I was thankful to be off that bus but That scares me that things like this still happen and people do nothing in a crowd. Do not ever remain silent about abuse verbal or not it is not okay to happen. It isn't okay that any woman has to fear being abused in a crowd
