Wednesday, I think it was Wednesday, I was at the South Hill mall in Puyallup with a friend to grab some stuff for my sons birthday party and get some lunch.
We both ordered our food and waited for our orders to be called when I hear this lady saying "Sir, sir, hey". I thought she was about to tell me my gun was showing or something.
I turn to look at her and realize she's not talking to me and she's carrying her son who's maybe 2 years old. At this point I notice she's trying to get the attention of a security guard and that's when I hear her say "that guy just kicked my son in the head".
I turn to see who this guy is and I don't see anyone, so I start to wonder if this lady is a bit on the crazy side and maybe the guy just bumped into her son. Her son wasn't crying or bleeding and didn't seem to be distressed in any way.
At this point I'm beginning to think this lady is working some sort of scam and then my food order gets called and I go sit down.
This lady and a female security guard go into the bathrooms for a minute and I decide to sit facing them so I can see what's going on if there's going to be a "show".
A minute or so later, this guy in his 60's with the wrap around black sunglasses that men of his age are known to wear on occasion comes speed walking out of the bathrooms with the lady and the security guard in tow.
Two male security guards stand in his path and he proceeds to try and bowl right through them like they aren't even there, which results in him kind of bouncing off of them.
He then pushes the larger of the 2 male security guards. This is where it gets more interesting. The security guard he pushed grabs him by the arm and throws the guy to the ground with kind of a modified arm drag/Uchi Mata and the guy goes flying head over heels and smacks onto the tile floor.
I almost jumped out of my seat is was that impressive. I also kicked myself for not filming the whole thing on my phone to at least have what happened on video.
Security then cuffed him and waited for the police to show up.
I saw the cops talk to a few people who must have seen him kick the kid and overheard them talking about how strange the guy was acting so I assume he did kick the kid.
In the end, I couldn't believe I didn't see him kick the kid since it happened about 15 feet from me and then I failed again by not filming the incident.
Had I been paying more attention to my surroundings and had I seen him kick a 2 year old, I would have felt obligated to stop him from going anywhere. My friend and I were both armed, not that it mattered, and neither of us was paying enough attention to what was going on around us.
Kind of a little lesson in how important some of our other skills are rather than just how well we shoot a gun.
Sorry for the super long post.
