Julia Price's day was nothing short of an emotional roller coaster ride.
It wasn't just a friendly greeting, compliment or salutation. When a man saw Julia pass by him, his rude behavior made her feel uncomfortable.
If you don't think harassment can get gruesome, just watch this video that shows what happens when a woman secretly records what men shout at her on the street.
What started out as a normal day of jogging turned into a scary altercation, but by the end of it, her faith in humanity was restored. The young woman was going for a run when a creep began to shout obscenities at her — some seriously crude language. She tried to ignore it, but he wouldn't stop.
Finally, she turned around to stand up to the man, but she didn't really have to. Someone — someone she never would've expected in a million years — saw the whole thing go down. Now the unexpected stranger is being call a hero for one surprising reason…
"I was on my usual running path when I heard an older man yelling loudly enough for me to hear through my headphones. ‘Sexy lady, hey hey hey sexy lady!’ He kept screaming it and I decided to just ignore him and keep running.
“This ignoring seemed to piss him off so he lashed out and said, ‘Eff you, dumb B****!’ Now let’s keep in mind he was well-dressed and appeared to be on his lunch break from an office job.”
“That was my trigger point. The B word. I ripped off my headphones prepared to stand up for myself when this little boy who was walking alongside his mother and little sister in a stroller looked at the guy and said:
“‘Hey. That is not nice to say to her and she didn’t like you yelling at her. You shouldn’t do that because she is a nice girl and I don’t let anyone say mean things to people. She’s a girl like my sister and I will protect her.'”
"The man was immediately embarrassed and started gathering his lunch to leave. I asked the mother if I could hug the little boy (his name is James) and I told him how grateful I was for him. He just shrugged and said. 'Well I just wanted to make sure your heart was okay.'
“According to his mother, this is a typical day in the life of James. Thank you so much to the mothers and fathers who are raising the next generation to be brave and courageous, and to be little earth angels for all. I am so touched.”
"I think we can look to James as an inspiration the next time we have an opportunity to be the brave one and help someone else.
"Thank you for your thoughts and support of the little love warrior. I hope in some way he can feel how many people he has inspired. I hope he goes on to lead many movements and to protect all of his 'sisters' and of course, his 'brothers' as well.
"Thank you for sharing his message and celebrating his spirit with me!"
Please SHARE little James' important message: be kind to one another, for they are all your brothers and sisters.
