So my older brother was assualted last night. I guess, 3 teenage, african american kids, took him out. One clotheslined him, the other two watched. I guess he got away before they could hurt him.
So I am sorta freaking out about it. Trying not to freak out too much, but still sorta freaking out about it. He is my 31 year old brother. I can't handle thinking about how my older brother would react in a situation like this. I have thought about my younger brother, only because I am the protective older sister. But my older brother? Not that this was even close to it, but he could've died. How would've I reacted to that news?
Also, this happened in the town that I am living in. The same (pretty much) town. If it wasn't him, it would've been someone else. It could've been me. And how would've I reacted in that situation?
I come from ND, where the attitude is "oh, that happens, but not to me". It's weird when it happens to someone you love. I am just glad and thankful he got away before he was seriously injured. it was 3 angry teenagers against my brother, who is like 100 lbs at 6'3. I hate to say this, especially about my brother, but they so could've taken him.
At least he's okay. I am calling him tonight to make sure he's okay and see if there's anything I can do to help, even if it is grabbing some cigarettes.
