The craziest thing just happened at dinner. I’m at a ramen shop owned by Thai people in Oakland dressed as power rangers, when a woman comes rushing in saying she wasn’t safe—and a man came running in after her and puts her in a chokehold.

Once the woman had expressed she wasn’t safe, and she didn’t want to go home with this man who was choke holding her, the black power ranger (the manager with a kickass bob) and the yellow ranger, told the man to leave.

He swung at them.
This is when all rangers yelled, “Huey!”
The man starts calling everyone Asian slurs & if Bruce Lee was still alive he’d kick everyone’s asses & beelines for the kitchen.

YellowRanger grabs him by the collar to drag him out of the restaurant.
Man kicks & hurls punches.
A white guy yells: “Do you want to go to jail?”

Man comes back with a friend (or another person bugging on the street) to try & fight the power rangers.

It’s been half an hour & the police still haven’t shown up, despite everyone calling.
My friend receives a AirDrop request to accept photos & she’s like, “The fuck not!”
Police finally show up.

Cooks materializes with hairnets in disarray & ready to join the power rangers at the door, but I hear them tell the cops that the man has now started another fight down the pier.
I thank all the rangers for their time.
The Green one said:
There’s no sense, moral or meaning to this story, except that I can’t believe power rangers are actually Thai? I’m grateful no guns were involved. And the food at Noka Ramen was excellent.
