You are My Hero!

To the man who saved my son's life last Saturday, the 18th of June, in North Portland. If you had not courageously intervened, my son would be dead. Most people would have kept driving. Most people would have ignored what they saw. Most people would have been too afraid to do anything at all when they saw three men kicking the shit out of two boys. But you were one man & you DID do something. And it is because of your courage & humanity that i am able to put my arms around my living child today.
i want for you to know that he is going to be ok...physically. They did kick his teeth in, so he is going to need extensive dental surgery ( thank god for state health insurance!). He has massive facial trauma, but it will heal. No bones were broken, & he has a heart condition & a pacemaker that they didn't fuck up. But his spirit is broken. He met the evil, blind, ugliness of humanity that night & he is violated & broken. These were not people he knew. It began with him giving them a cigarette, & as he & his friend walked away, one of them came up behind him and smashed a bottle on his skull. From there, it was a boot party on his head. What i can say to him, though, through all of this, is that whilst THEY were evil, ugly creatures, You were what a human should be. Compassionate & brave. That is a true Man.
Thank you, Sir...for being a real human & giving a child his life...& a Mother her Son. Blessings...
