HUMILITY: Try it on for size
My father is a basin of wisdom. He once assured my brother and I, after undergoing one hell of a root canal, that his final words to us would forever be: "Floss."
He's taught me many a truth about the world, and truths about myself. One of his crucial points of fatherly savvy was bestowed upon me after discovering me with a boy and telling me afterwards that I should try and "Put a sock in it".
Those words stuck with me to this day, and I couldn't help but be reminded of my father and his philosophies on life upon reading this article:
Just here to save you from yourself.
4 out of the 5 teens responsible for the attack have since been arrested. According to police the man was treated for non-life threatening injuries after he was attacked by one teen with a baseball bat while being punched by the others. Apparently the teens were of the notion that "Act now, ask questions later" would be the best approach to resolving this issue, and neglected to give the man a chance to explain.
While the girls relationship to the woman is unclear, what remains most baffling is what kind of person in their right mind generates sounds of terror and pain that might prompt people within earshot to assume they were being attacked rather than being boned. What also remains unclear is why, upon barging in on the baby-making, the teens presumed the nudity equated to a brutal attack rather than love-making. Presumably it had something to do with her Banshee Wails, and nothing to do with the scratch marks on his back.
The look...of love.
It's at moments like these, moments of sheer and utter embarrassment that we must look into ourselves with a forced humility, remind ourselves to calmly Put a sock in it...

Man beaten after teens misinterpret sex screamsAccording to the report, the screams of pleasure resonating from the 34-year old Cougar in question prompted a 16 year old girl living with the presumed-MILF to the act of vigilantism when she put together a lynch-mob to help save the day.

Either way, I love these people! Willing to throw themselves in harm's way to stop rapists? My kind of people!
I know their hearts were in the right place... but honestly. Let's use our words, shall we?
