Those Heroic Ladies Had Him All Boxed Up

CONTENT WARNING: Stalking, Robbery, Violence

I’m a (female) landlord responsible for an apartment complex. The father of one of our tenants called to inform me that his son would not be able to continue his lease due to being jailed past the end of said lease.

I admit, I’m a bit nosy.

Me: “I… see. May I ask why he was jailed?”

The father went on to tell this story — not verbatim, but pretty close.

Father: “My son has been stalking and robbing women to support himself financially. He was arrested for pulling a knife on three ladies walking to a football game. It turned out that there was also a women’s boxing tournament that weekend. The ladies he attempted to rob were competing. They beat the stuffing out of him and detained him until the police arrived. He’s doing a lot of rethinking.” 

I don’t like violence, but Karma was on tap with this one, especially since I could have potentially been one of his victims.
