When I was living in San Jose several years ago, I was the pool pro at a prestigious billiard hall. My buddy and I got off work around 2am. I had my pool cue case slung over my shoulder as we left the hall. We walked around one corner and heard shouting.....we both looked up the street and saw some dude leaning into the driver side of a car, punching the girl sitting there, in the face. We immediatetly yelled to get his attention, when he looked up, there was a group of bouncers from Polyesther's who started yelling at us. I think there were six of them, plus the guy hitting her made seven. They were cursing at us, telling us to "mind your own fucking business....just walk away....this is none of your concern". Well, my friend and I weren't just going to let this lady get beat, and why the bouncers were letting this happen is beyond me. We kept walking towards him, yelling at him to back the fuck off. I pulled my cue case off my shoulder, unzipped it and pulled out the back end of my Cuetek Quick release cue. The bouncers proceeded to charge towards us, my friend didn't have a weapon to protect himself so he got behind me. I dropped the case and gripped my cue like a baseball bat....waiting for the right moment to pull out some serious Jet Li on their asses. I know I would have died, but I would have taken a few blokes with me. Just as I was ready to take a swing at the first guy that was about to reach me (I could already see the target on the side of his forehead), a police car came screeching around the corner. I was so relieved. My friend and I were put up on the wall, spread position with everyone else. I could see the bouncers looking at us in contempt, then we were let go before then once the police woman found that we were trying to protect this lady. I swear I almost shit my pants that night. I am glad it didn't go down like that because I am the most non-confrontational guy you will ever meet.
