A young man walks into my office with a couple of band aids on some very obviously deep wounds on his head.
“Oh my goodness” I say, “What happened to your head?”
“I got into a fight,” he said.
“Yes, but…how’d you get those holes in your head?”
“Someone hit me in the head with a hammer” he responded.
“What!?! Oh my gawd! Are you okay? Did you go to the hospital?”
“Naw” he says “The wait was too long.”
“Did you at least call the police?” I ask.
“Yeah, someone did and they came but I wouldn’t tell them who did it.”
“You do know it’s not okay to run around hitting people in the head with a hammer don’t you? It’s against the law” I reason.
“Naw…I’ll be alright” he answers.
