Deciding to do a patrol, I went for the trip the same as I did on Independence Day, only I have a car to use.  Things were starting well.  As I passed by a restaurant near Ashmont Station, I was going to try to help one of the servers with closing up, but he was okay.  So0on, a couple of women sitting at a table say me and they were impressed.  I explained who I was.  They at first said, "Save the city," but quickly changed to "Save our country."  I replied to them not to worry, I don't work for tyrants.  I can tell you, they were overjoyed.  First thing I saw, was a bunch of people hanging around an area near a closed Dunkin' Donuts.  I went to investigate.  All they were just some people partying, nothing to worry about.  As I kept walking, starting to converse with people, I started to finally feel a grove back.  Soon, I saw a domestic squabble.  Unliker the last time, the lady wasn't too happy I was there and the boyfriend kept on saying, "Stay away from MY girl!"  REALLY?!?  It's 2020, boy.  People aren't possessions, neither gender.  As I walked things were doing well.  I managed to go to the same point as I did for Dudley Square.  However, I failed to remember properly how to get there.  It didn't matter, as the residents felt better a superhero was watching their block.  As I finally made it back to square one, I was smart enough to use Google Maps.  It led rtf the destination, perfectly.  I walked down.  I even conversed with the residents, which felt more comfortable with as I explained a lot and they felt safe with me.  Things were going real well.  However at the corner of Dorchester and Columbia, there was an argument at a Speedway.  II had to cross over to the other side.  It felt like the game Frogger, but I made it.  How I made it, yet stink at the game I* will never know.  Knowing that tensions were getting worse, I tried to stop it before the top popped off.  One person said mind your own business, while the other thanked me for being there.  I soon looked on to see just in case anything went wrong.  The only thing was that the car sped off with the door open, leaving one behind.  I soon asked what was going on.  As the cashier closed on me since I wasn't an officer, the phone witness told me it was just a family having the usual argument.  Funny, I didn't know Punch & Judy had kids?  But as I head back, I saw someone, possibly Black Lives Matter, stop me and ask some questions.  They address me as a superhero and asked how I feel about their cause.  BI told them that I understand both side, being of public service of protecting others and myself with a disability like autism, but I also said about the oath I am strict to, Dignity, Honor, Respect.  I also told him how citizen's arrests work, and how I'm just as strict to those who do the same service.  He fist pumped me, give a nod of approval.  A huge honor for me.  A great patrol.
