A thread on the popular Reddit.com forum ‘AskReddit’ asked users to describe the “single most heroic act they ever witnessed.” One user had an answer that will leave you smiling in front of your screen.
Reddit user MedicGirl posted the following story, describing a fearless act from her mother.
I’m on the phone with the cops and I run over to help, as I’m afraid this guy is going to make short work of my mother. The guy threatens to beat my mother up and before I can say anything, he raises his fist to hit her and she slugged him so hard in the solar plexus that he just crumpled to the ground wheezing. At this point, several other bystanders who were just standing around came over and held the guy down until the cops got there.
My mother, who was all of 5’2″ and nearly sixty years old stepped into the middle of a fight to keep a girl from getting hurt or killed. I’ve done absolutely nothing in my life that can compare to what she did.
There’s nothing better than sweet justice — except, perhaps, when it’s dealt by a little lady with a big heart.
