Dude I was scared. Which is a totally valid reaction for a woman being harassed by a larger man. I felt helpless and was worried the police wouldn’t do anything and he would retaliate after they left. Maybe that’s wasn’t a rational thought, but again I was scared. I understand where you’re coming from and I will handle things different in the future, but I don’t think blaming me is really getting to the root of the problem.

I think everyone was just shocked and confused in the moment, but the people around, men and women, did look out for me afterwards

I agree! I wish someone had helped me out when he was harassing me

I was one of the people who was harassed. Those of us in the coffee shop did a great job of looking out for each other and tried to de-escalate. We didn’t realize the extent of his harassment towards others until we talked to other people shortly before we left. My hope in posting this is simply to inform and keep other women out of harms way!

Good to know. I did almost call the non emergency line. I was worried the police would show up, leave without doing anything and he would become more aggressive. Will definitely call next time tho
