▲ & ▼ Peter Ruben witnessed acts by a champ and a villain during the same incident. Since we had a tough time determining whether to place this story in the Hero or Zero portion of the column, we combined the two sections. The episode began when an elderly couple drove the wrong way onto a one-way street in downtown San Rafael. Although a pickup truck headed in the correct direction could have easily passed by in the adjacent open lanes, he pulled up in front of the seniors. With the two vehicles hood to hood, the truck driver honked and yelled obscenities. Words were exchanged, which prompted the testosterone-ridden zero to jump out of his truck and head towards the senior driver. Enter our hero, a female bystander.

She asked the couple to remain in their vehicle and then stepped in front of the approaching man. “What are you going to do?” she asked. “Beat him up?” The belligerent driver didn’t back down until she showed him her phone and threatened to call the police. The would-be tough guy stopped for a moment, uncertain, and then returned to his truck. For good moronic measure, he hurled a few more barnyard epithets before he drove away. The couple was badly shaken, with the wife in tears and the man confused and apologetic. Our hero guided their car into a parking lot and stayed with them until they calmed down. That bigmouth bully never had a chance against our strong and stout-hearted woman. — Nikki Silverstein
