Definately take care when exercising your "hero gene".

I chased an armed would-be rapist and taunted him until he drew down on me as we went around and around a truck.

I kept taunting him but stayed covered as he ran away.

I'm not as fast as I once was so I am more careful now.
I see where you got your user name then. :-p
