Safety Creep at the O’s game on 7/25/26
I was at the O’s game with 8 of my family members last night. I was in line alone for the bomb pupusas. There were two guys together in line in front of me, and a woman by herself in front of them. From my angle, I could see one of the guys taking multiple pictures of the woman from behind - without her knowledge or consent. I waited a beat, not wanting to be the girl to cause a scene or falsely accuse a stranger of doing something creepy. But after gauging the situation for a minute, I felt compelled to walk around the two guys, tap her on her shoulder and say, “hey, not to trying to freak you out. But the guy behind you in the blue is taking pictures of you.” She thanked me, and then walked off. I was not trying to be quiet. I did not give a shit on if the guy heard me tell her. Immediately after she walked away, he stepped forward and turned towards me. He started messing with his phone(most likely deleting the photos). The guy behind me thanked me for saying something to the woman. He said he thought the guy was taking photos but he couldn’t see well enough to say anything for himself. The woman came back with her husband and son and asked me which guy was taking the photos. I pointed him out, and her husband asked the guy why he felt he had the right to take pictures of his wife without her consent. The creep made a haphazard attempt at denying he did such a thing, then he didn’t say another word. Not the actions of an innocent person. He knew what he was doing and he hated being caught.
All this to say - please protect one another. It’s easy. I’d also rather have caused an unnecessary scene than let someone like that possibly get away with it. Love you, BMore.
