I thought I should share.
There was a man, a Kansas State fan by his attire, who had apparently been beaten and left for dead on the side of the road. He was in really bad physical shape. He certainly was not going to last long there without some help.
From quite a distance, I first witnessed fellow Kansas State fans drive right by him (they clearly saw him, I saw 5-6 faces staring out of the green minivan's slightly tinted windows, KSU flags rapidly flapping). All they did was swerve to the other lane to avoid him (his legs were partially sticking out into the road, one of his feet unclothed).
I was still a few hundred yards away when a black pickup truck with a Mizzou window decal, came by me. They too changed lanes, but slowed down to probably 10 miles per hour (looking, but in a casual manner, as if they did not want people to know they'd seen him) and once again, continued on.
I began to run towards this man (I thought he perhaps had no hope other than myself), when a white luxury sedan sped by me. They appeared to be passing the man by as well, when they suddenly slammed on their breaks and in a tear, threw the car in reverse until they pulled up along side the man. A man and a woman leapt from the car.
The woman said, (if I heard them correctly) "He's a K-State fan..."
The man responded, "I don't care what he is, this man needs our help. Help me lift him into the backseat."
They picked the man up, the man at the injured man's shoulders, the woman at his feet. As they approached the car, the woman left his feet to open the back door for the man. For an instant, she could not get it open (she opened it, but it swung shut again due to some type of mechanics inside the car door), but finally did and the man crawled in backwards, pulling the other man in with him, effortlessly. The woman quickly shut the door behind them, the man exited the opposite door, and they were off.
I was relieved, but in the same moment I was given goose-pimples by what I saw; their Douglas County license plate was adorned with a border, a silver license plate holder that shown brightly in the afternoon sun, it read: JAYHAWKS.
