So I already had to wake up at 5 today to get ready for work, and at 3:40am we hear right outside our window "Get down on the ground! GET DOWN ON THE GROUND, CLOSE YOUR HANDS!" Mike got up and ran to the window, and there were several police officers trying to wrestle a guy to the ground. Mike was like a seven year old kid on Christmas morning. He was giving me full commentary. And the spotlights were shining right into our bedroom. We don't even live in a bad area, but the guy must have really pissed someone off, because two more men came running up, one had a bat and one had a golf club.
It turns out he had a gun and he must have broken into someone's apartment. Scary. It's nice to not be on the ground floor, but still. I couldn't believe it was all happening right there.
The man started yelling, "BUDDHA!!" I mean he was wailing and crying it out so tragically. Mike got a kick out of that, too.
There were so many police cars that they had blocked both entrances to the complex, and Mike and I were giggling about how he should have gotten in his van and tried to drive through, saying, "Ummm, I have to go to Wal-Mart now!"
That was unreal.
And they just finally left about ten minutes ago, and now I have to get up for work. Ugh.
i hate people
