They're some of the "super kind" hippies. We call them Health store hippies, and they're the worst kind of hippie! One once told me smoking was very bad for my health. My response while I was slowly stepping torward the lady was, "lady, telling someone what they should or shouldn't do, where I come from, is very hazardous to your health!". She quickly scuttled away
I saw one of these situations end badly last year….Duder and I were hanging out in the other side of town for some different scenery. Lotsa tourists, lotsa indigenous hippies, plus a varying amount of homeless.
So, I tuck back into a dark alley to smoke a joint and give dude some water. I notice across the street there’s this homeless guy kinda standing against a building, head down, long hair….sorta trying not to be noticed, really….but totally minding his business. Probably in his 40’s.
Coming around the corner the other direction is a hippie lady…. Little, thin, maybe 50’s.
She comes around the blind corner, stops dead in her tracks when she sees this guy…she hesitates for a split second, and lunges forward and bows up on this guy…and she lets out a loud, guttural grunt.
Without hesitation, he knocked her the fuck out. Snoring, out.
Then he just sat down and waited for the cops.
She apparently told the cops that she was startled by this guy’s looks, and instead of being intimidated, she wanted to let him know she wasn’t afraid.
Whole thing was on a bars surveillance video, he was found to be defending himself, and she got probation….and fucked up in public.
