So, I gave up pop and those jittery energy beverages – been off the hard stuff forever, honestly – opting for sparkling apple juice. However, there’s an issue: these 10-ounce glass bottles resemble Corona beers a little too closely.
I walked toward my vehicle this morning, balancing juice in one grip yet cradling my year-old daughter’s car seat with the other. Suddenly, neighbors descended on me; one seized the car seat itself as the second launched into a furious assault – blows rained down alongside accusations that I intended to drive drunk with our child
The fight turned rough; glass flew from a broken bottle, slicing my palm. Also, my phone is toast – likely alongside my nose. Honestly, the most frightening moment arrived when our neighbor snatched my daughter, carrying her into his place. For almost ten minutes I begged him through the mesh of his door, clarifying it was apple juice, not liquor, before he would give her back.
Something went down; dialing 911 now. Thoughts?
The neighbors offered no excuse, merely claiming they acted to safeguard everyone nearby.
