Good deed

Me and a mate did something that I was very proud of last night. Let me regale you.

Working through the wee hours as I have been lately, I have lunch with a friend at about 4am. We work in Auckland City, so wander down to the town square, which is called Aotea Square, to watch all of the early morning freaks out and about as we munch and swill coffee. I've seen some funny stuff sitting in the square. Last night was not so funny.

We went to take our usual seats and we heard a woman screaming. It was shrill and full of horror. Instinct took over; we both ran towards the commotion. It was coming from an alleyway near the square.

I got there first. My mate Semisi is a huge Samoan, 18 stone of Polynesian muscle, but he wasn't far behind me. The scene that greeted us was of a hysterical woman screaming at three guys as they were beating the shit out of a man whom we later learned was the woman's husband.

It amazes me now that we didn't even think of consequences, Semisi and I just whaled in and started banging. We Kiwis have a very finely honed sense of supporting the underdog, and the guy receiving the bash fit well and truly into that category.

Semisi picked up one of the assailants as if he was a ragdoll and threw him against the wall of the alley. I heard a satisfying crack of a rib or some bone breaking as he hit. I was busy pummelling the other guy, and the third piece of shit did a runner before we could dispense violence on his ass too. The guy against the wall was bleeding, my opponent, also bleeding from the nose, gave up too and they both decided to leg it - I'm glad my bro was with me or things could've been the worse for me. The only bummer was that we couldn't hold them to hand them over to the cops.

The woman, whose name was Karen, explained that one of the scumbags had asked her husband for a cigarette, and when he was told that neither of them smoked, all three set upon her poor man. He was much the worse for wear. They were tourists from England. I cringed at that. What a great advertisement for my country that makes.

Karen tried to give us both money which we turned down. Semisi and I offered to accompany them to the police station, but they said no, they just wanted a taxi and to get home.

I'm proud that my friend and I helped, but I can't wait to get back onto the day shift and back to sanity. But I'll be keeping an eye out for those scumbags, and it'll be round two if Semisi and I see them again.

Nice work mate! Maybe those dick heads will think twice before they try something like that again....... But then again probably not, low life's like that never learn do they?

 

Everyone I've ever spoken to who's been to NZ has always spoke very highly of the country and of the friendliness of the people.

 

I know what you mean about the nights though, I recently just finished a six week shift of nights and by the end of it I didn't know whether I was coming or going, it screws with everything, you don't sleep properly, eat properly, your social life goes out the window etc.

Thanks all. I was pretty shaken up about the whole thing after the fact. There have been alot of stabbings in Aucks recently, and I have children. I didn't think of them.

I considered taking a couple of nights off, but Semisi said 'don't be a f***ing pussy!' and that was that.

I don't normally intervene into stuff. At that time in the morning in Auckland you see a lot of fights, but their mostly between males, and you think 'go ahead, knock yourselves out'.

But the sound of a screaming woman had both me and my friend running before thinking. It's the third time I've heard that and if I never hear it again, I'll be happy. But if I do, I'll be running towards it on reflex.

We've seen them again since (the scumbags) and they ran. The lovely Karen and her husband Seamus also hunted us down to our place of work and shouted us all lunch and a box of beers. They are both lovely people from Birmingham (yeah! Black Sabbath!)

who delighted in our approximations of the Birmingham accent.

Good for you and your friend! The people you helped probably thought you guys were angels. Very bid angels, but there are all sizes of angels.

But, it you keep doing good deeds like this, you just won't be living up to your Sulla name. hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Giving up football? You are so young! But I guess years of activities like that puts your body through hell. Both my boys have played American Football and I do think all the time, what is happening to their bodies. Last year, my little one had a knee bruise.

We use to go see the Kansas City Wizards soccer team and after the game the had a rugy match. Never seen one up close. OH MY GOSH! You guys are huge. The hitting, the blood! I kept yelling kill, kill, and I had my thumb down. Oh that was in my former life in Rome! In Florence Italy around St. John's day, they have Calcio in Cosutume. They have a Renassiance parade with the famous flag throwers, real Princes on horse back, lovely ladies showing their D

Hey, that game in Florence sounds great. I've seen it on TV before, I think, and my friends and I staged a re-enactment in our living room!

Cheers for calling me young - flattery will get you everywhere! Unfortunately in Rugby I'm an old, old man. Play in the seniors? Thems fighting words, sister. Once I get my walking stick, then it's time to go to the seniors! (my dad will kill me if he reads this!)

It's too bad that you two didn't permanently maim the three children of god in many more ways than one. They would have had some fond memories to bear with through life.
