Benighted
My brain hurts
A nurse with a gun stopped a gang of black men from attacking a white driver in Detroit who had gotten out of his car to help the child he had accidentally hit.
Deborah Hughes saw a gang forming around Steve Utash last week as she peered out her window and knew that there would be trouble.
'Always when I see a crowd like that and stuff like that I put my gun in my jacket pocket and I go to see what's going on,' she told MyFoxDetroit.
'I laid over the top of him, I put my arms around him and I said "You are safe. Nobody's going to hurt you no more."'
Ms Hughes, a nurse, has been praised by Detroit Police Chief James Craig and thanked by Mr Utash's family.

Ms Hughes has spoken out on the same day that a fifth man has been arrested for his involvement in attacking the 54-year-old tree trimmer from Clinton Township.
Arraignments were Tuesday for 17-year-old Bruce Wimbush Jr., 30-year-old Wonzey Saffold and 24-year-old James Davis.
They're charged with assault with intent to murder and assault with intent to commit great bodily harm.
A 16-year-old boy also faces a hearing Saturday.

Security footage from a gas station Harris [the 10yo Utash hit with his truck] and friends were standing in front of shows him inexplicably running into oncoming traffic before being mowed down by Utash's vehicle.
Utash, from suburban Roseville, immediately stopped to check on the boy, but several black males from their late teens to their early 20s quickly descend on the scene.
Police quickly ruled the incident an accident.
'It was determined that the driver of the vehicle wouldn't have had any chance of stopping,' Moreno explained.
