Jerks that don't understand

So, I was sitting on my couch about to get up and check on my laundry when my roomate, Candice, returned home from her trip to a store downtown. I dont really admonish her because im being distracted, but then I hear that she starts to talk. I tear my eyes from my book, and I realize that she is shaking.
"I was just at the store and I was squating down and this guy looks over and turns to his buddy next to him and whispers 'ugly'."
I freeze. Her eyes are getting wide.
"I didnt know what to do so I just stormed out of there." Her eyes are tearing up. "I mean, what kind of jerk says something like that?"
Im gaping, totally and completely shocked.
"They are such jerks!" with that declaration, crying hard, she stomps out of the room and goes into her room.
"What the heck!?" I cry out.
Wrapping myself up in my comforter, I follow her into the room.
She is standing with her back to the door when I first walk in but I know she is crying because her back is hunched and I hear her quiet sobs.
"Candice, Are you okay?" I ask, so horrified by what she just I cant seem to think straight.
"I just can't see why someone would say that!" she cries, shaking and wiping her tears.
"Alright, you give me a good description of this...(I refrain myself from going into explitives) man and I am going to hunt him down and give him a little swift kick." And sadly, I am seriously thinking about it.
She laughs between her sobs.
"Come here candice." I outstrech my arms so when she hugs me we are both covered in my bright orange comforter. I want so badly to make her feel better; I hold her tightly.

Let me just say one thing. Any (*&%(*$#@&@#*8 who thinks that is all right needs to never have children. I was so tempted to go find these guys and yell at them and teach them a lesson, but I guess youve got to be the bigger person. Let me just say one thing, if you make anyone that I care about feel bad, that is one way to get on my bad side, and thats hard to do. I rarely dont like people. You mess with them, you mess with me, and although I am pretty even tempered dont underestimate my ability to stand up for others. Luckily I havent had to do it very often. But I have enough passion to make anyone sorry that they were so low to think that walking over people is okay. Grow up.
