His convulsing was causing his head and neck to whip around, so I got down and held his body in place so he would damage himself less. Two people who had walked out of a local store and did not see the accident came over and yelled at me.

"Leave him alone!" one of them screamed at me.

"He's an epileptic! He's just having an epileptic fit! Don't treat him like he was sick or something."
