Mike approached a young black woman named Connie, who was crying. He was beaten up for talking to her, and sadly, the young woman didn't help him. Her response when approached by the "big guy";

"And real soft— her voice was so soft, just like her eyes— she said, 'Kill the white bastard* "And sure enough, they almost did."
