Did the guy see where you ran to? If I was you or your boyfriend, I would most definitely keep the weapons loaded and one eye open tonight.

P.S. I actually work for the real estate management company who manages my apartment.. Should I mention something to them when I go into work tomorrow?? I know they have mentioned to me in the past that they have the power to evict people.. I am not saying I want to evict anyone, but I already know they are thinking of evicting a potential drug dealer in another complex already.. Or should I just not let them be aware..

They should be very aware. I am unaware of the law, but they quite possibly could be held liable for what happens on their property.
If nothing else, you informing them almost definitely would hold a degree of liability for them. You know, the whole "knowledge of or witness to a crime" thing... |

I bet the idiot was high or something...Maybe just trying to jack with ya. Even when your scared crapless try your best to look calm and cool-headed (I know this is hard) this alone can make the difference between being a victim or not. I would let things cool off for a couple of days then notify the complex that there is A LOT (make it up if you have too. The more the better I say) of strange things going on at this certain apt. And see what happens. BTW keep a weapon close at hand when the BF isn't around.

1. You reacted well. You did the right thing in leaving a potentially harmful situation. Paranoia is its own reward.
2. Drug dealers don't like being watched and he may have felt you were giving him undue attention. This may have been an attempt to make the white woman fear him in future. He may have not necessarily been looking to go blang blang wifs da homies, he may have just wanted to preserve his portion of the free market. 3. He may have been looking to do you harm. There have been such instances, I am told, of negroes failing to doff their hats to white women as of late if you get my drift. An excellent web search on this very topic should include the words Wichita and Horror. 4. After reviewing documentation concerning the Wichita horror, you may be asking yourself why you were not armed. I certainly am. 5. He may have been looking to intimidate you simply for the thrill. Blacks regularly do this to white people at random these days. My Dad could not understand why some black guy on MARTA started getting verbally abusive with him and then kept shouting "White man afraid!" over and over. I had to explain that they do this as some sort of a bizarre form of empowerment preached by black racists. 6. He may have felt your staring was an invitation. Everybody wants to get themselves a pretty little blonde. 7. Your weapon is like your clothes. Do you leave the house without a clothes? Do you sit on the front porch naked? If so can I watch? Just kidding. Get your weapon and keep it handy. Be a little nervous tonight. I am glad you are well. |

One more thing, you are correct in your assumptions that they were black.. I honestly never saw a black person in this particular complex before, not even to visit.. I'm not being racist or anything I just never saw one in or near my complex since moving here in november and I sit outside in the parking lot alot..

That has to be the strangest thing I have ever heard...What did your father do??? My Dad, who is in his 60s and a really sweet guy was just torn that someone would act that way towards him without any justification. The guy picked on my Dad because he wanted what he thought might be an easy target, pure and simple. He didn't do anything at all. I have experienced this sort of behavior first hand. Since calling a black man a naughty name can get you imprisioned in this country, I simply pursued the free man of color on the two occasions that it has happened to me while holding a carefully blank expression. It seems to unnerve most blacks when you show no fear and they will then beat feet while yelling over their shoulders "White man afraid!" and "Come on over here sos I can fuck you up!" I told the guy who yelled the "come over" line "Slow down then! I can't run that fast!" But he didn't. I don't know why. Perhaps he was saving me from my fear. |

I don't think you have a reason to be [b]afraid[/b], but you have every reason to be [b]cautious and aware[/b]. If I were you, I'd not leave the apartment alone after dark, and I'd sure as hell keep a weapon & a cell phone real handy. If anyone knocks at the door, and you're not expecting visitors, have your weapon in your hand as you look through the peep-hole. If you don't know them, tell them to go away. If they persist, again tell them to go away, and that you are armed, and calling the police. Poikilotrm has a point, btw: if people think you're off your rocker, or just don't give a damn, they'll generally leave you alone.

It may not be a bad idea to make a call to the pd to report suspicious activity, tell them what you saw, how you felt. It will be recorded.
Second call to the manager of the apartment complex, leave a message about the activity. If a confrontation occurs, at least you will have documented the previous experience, and have additional justification for using deadly force. Lebrew |

dude, you're paranoid. You haven't witness a crime, so some guy drives up in a nice car and walks in and comes out quickly. Comes back 15 minutes later and looked at you. I would hardly call that a crime.
What you should've done is flash him and see what happens [:D]. |

[size=6]JUST MOVE!!![/size=6]
Why live in such a place. I lived in Humboldt Park (a bad neighborhood on the west side of Chicago), every night when it was warmer than 50 degrees I was treated to constant gunfire, some of it full-auto, as the Puerto Ricans there kiled each other. One morning I was leaving for the el to get to work and two drunk PR chicks were cutting each other up with box knives on the front lawn. I broke the lease and eventually settled in semi-rural Michigan. Now the only gunfire I hear is my own. Do yourself a favor and just get the hell out of there. |

If you didn't get the license plate #, try do so - w/o jeopardizing yourself/others - if the car ever cruises by again.
From your perspective, would having a firearm immediately at hand made you more safe - particularly if you didn't happen to be close to home? If so, then, assuming you don't already have one, consider a CCW (concealed carry weapon) license for yourself (if your state [u]requires[/u] a license for CCW). Some might suggest this as an "extreme" reaction, but I'd wager it's a very good reason for carrying a firearm for personal protection. I'll bet [i]homeboy[/i] had a piece (illegally) on him. If you don't already have one, get a CCW handgun you can feel comfortable using & carrying. And practice until you can use it as easily as you would drink water from a glass. Now, I'm not at all suggesting that you shoot at the first sight anyone who glares/stares at you, but I think you probably understand the point I'm trying to make. Caveat emptor: If, to the contrary, "carrying" makes you feel less at ease, then by all means, do [b]not[/b] do so. Good luck, & be strong. [heavy] |
