A young woman sought to be blind from a disturbance at a fast food restaurant. Jessica Miller is this woman’s name, she said that as they arrived to the restaurant, two men began fighting with each other. So she began to try and break up the fight. She said that Reed which was in a crowd watching, tried to pull her away from the combatants. She told him to “stop touching me”, cause he kept grabbing her. Reed apparently knew one of the two men fighting and told her to mind her own business and let the fight proceed. She said, that after he pulled her away a third time, he punched her in her left eye. He had shattered all the bones around Millers eye socket and the zyomatic arch. Joplin police states, that her eye socket was crushed, her eyeball was ruptured, her cheekbone was shattered and nerves on the left side of her face were severed. Also, Her eyeball was detached by the blow and that she required six surgeries from this one massive hit in the face. She wasn’t even in a fight to begin with, she was knocked out of her shoes, by a fool who thought he wouldn’t get punished for hitting a woman.

My first reaction to this article was that how dumb and drunk could you possibly be to hit a woman? On these pretences she was either going to get hit by one of the men actually in the fight, or by some random outcast who thinks he can control people by breaking their face.

This article makes me very mad to the women who do let men push them around and don’t do anything about it. But this women wasn’t letting that happen to her. It makes my head hurt trying to figure out why he had this in his mind to hit a woman? What was that going to solve, only to make his interior self feel better? That is the most pathetic excuse that I have ever heard to physically hurt someone else, a stranger at that! I believe this article made me react the way I did because I feel so strongly about this topic and hate the way people make themselves feel better in these insane ways.

In conclusion, this article was an eye opener to all women out there, only involve yourself in a man on man fight if it is actually someone you know and care about. Otherwise it is a pre-caution just to stay away and out of harm’s way. The world has gotten too dangerous to put yourself in these kind of positions for no particular reason. It is a kind thought to break things up to resolve the situation, but it is best to leave it be. Unless the situation gets out of hand then emergencies are confronted. I don’t see anyone women or man trying to stop a fight anywhere else, why here in Joplin Mo? No one whoud dare enter a fight in New York or Chicago, right?

  1. I would agree with you all around. She should of just called the police and went on. She is really lucky that she is still alive. I personal have seen things like this happen, except it wasn't a woman that got hurt. It had started between a woman and man, but some how a guy that just happen to be stand there watching got to close and got pulled into it. I watched 3 guys bet this poor guy to a blood mess. Then everybody left and left him there on the ground. I told a buddy of mine that everybody had left and that we were the only people left and we could just leave him there. We didn't know this guy from adam, but still couldn't just leave him there. We ended up loading him into my car and taking him to the hospital. The doc said that as bad as he was hurt he could of very well died out there if we hadn't brought him in. With this being said unless it is somone you know and care about just walk away and get help.
