She-Hulk Mad

When Michael Galvin, 37, got on the Boston, Mass., rail system, one woman immediately noticed him. “This guy was just being a real creeper,” the 24-year-old woman said. As she moved through the train, she saw him follow her, until she looked up and saw him standing over her, allegedly exposing and touching himself under his shirt. She called out to the other passengers, but nobody did anything. “I’ve had enough of being harassed,” the unidentified woman said. “It was the last straw.” So she said she went into what she calls “She-Hulk mode,” lunging at Galvin and holding him with one hand while she berated him and waited for police to arrive. Galvin told police the jostling trolley had caused his shorts to fall down, but police charged him with open and gross lewdness. The woman also had some thoughts about the other passengers’ inaction: “That’s appalling. That makes me so angry. I want everyone to know that they have to say something.” (MS/Boston Herald) ...And trust me: you wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.
