Think it is time to end this thread! You are right in your world chivalry is cobblers. The right thing is the way to go and this man did not do the right thing! He used a scarey situation to his own advantage and terrified an innocent woman.She had no idea what he was going to do or how she was going to get away. It was an empty street and there were no people around, he invaded her personal space and sense of security. We only wanted to make sure ladies out on their own were more careful than my friend and that people be cautious, not start a race, gender or crime debate! I may have been flippant, more trying not to terrify others than flippancy. I find this whole discussion unbelievable, considering some of the crap that is talked about on here, but those who have found it useful I am glad, those who have not, dont dwell on it or give it another thought!
