A real eye-opener.
Well, I thought my accident was an eye opener. As it turns out, there are other things that can open your eyes even wider.
My brother and I were driving home in his fast car. (This is where the problem starts, with the word fast.) This blue Dodge Stealth RT pulls up next to us and the guy starts revving his engine to see if we will race. This was on the toll road on the way home from my dad's house this morning. Well, the tie rod ends on my brothers car are really worn down. He didn't want to race just in case he ended up hitting a pot hole or a bump when he was driving too fast and end up making the tie rod ends bust and causing an accident. So he just didn't respond.
Well the guys got back behind us because they were coming up to a slow car in their lane. And there wasn't an opening very soon so they were stuck behind us. They started riding my brother's ass even though he was doing 90. My brother got pissed and slowed down. So when they got the chance they passed us and all three of the teenagers in the car flipped us off. This causes an immediate reaction by us. Of course we're gonna flip em off back. When they got in front of us they drove really slow and started slamming on the breaks. I don't know what the hell they were trying to do. They were really fucking with us though. They almost made us totally crash into them when they stopped the last time. So I held up my cell phone like we were going to call the police. After a few minutes I put it down and rolled down my window. Well, the passenger thought it was a good idea to pull out a gun. He started pointing this bitch at us and yelling and cussing like he was gonna shoot me. I was so fuckin...I don't know.
My head like went into denial and was just like...that is NOT a gun. And I was just like, Mike, that's a gun. And so he said, "I know, get your phone and call 911." So I got the phone and after a few minutes of them fucking with us some more and waving their damn gun around they noticed my phone and sped off and got off on the exit like a 1/2 mile in front of us. Me and my brother were both really tweaky for a few hours. I don't know what I would have done if he had shot my brother. I wouldn't have cared if we got into an accident because of it.
I guess the good thing is that we got their license plate number and good looks at their faces.
DIA 2256. That's like burned into my brain. Hopefully those fuckers are going to get in some major trouble. Because that was the stupidest thing I have ever seen someone do. Over fucking nothing.
What if the gun accidentally went off if it got too hot in the car? BOOM. Dead. What if he accidentally pulled the trigger when he was pointing it at us? BOOM. Dead. What if he accidentally dropped it on the floor and it went off? BOOM. Dead. What if they got pulled over for speeding and were patted down by the police? BOOM. Well, I guess they wouldn't be dead...but still. That's just really stupid. None of those guys could have been more than 17. They all looked my age.
I just can't get that image out of my head. The image of a silver barrel pointing straight at me...
