And now for something a little different. I can't wait to see IM2, Paul and Newsvine leaping to the defense of the race baiter in my story. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Here's the story as it happened a couple days ago:
My wife and I are driving to our rental which we are getting ready to sell. I have my hand up in the window to block the sun. We pull over and park and I see this Native American guy with a grin on his face walking up to our car taking a video with his phone. I told my wife to stay in the car and I said to him "Can I help you?" He says cheerily "Oh I'm just getting my evidence for the police report I'm filing!" So I step out of the car and he backs up starts sounding panicky. He says "You don't need to be harassing me!! You flashed a gun sign at me in the car and now you are threatening me!!!" "I told him as calmly as I could "I had my arm up to block the sun I did not flash a gun sign at you SIR. I made a point to call him sir say since he was filming me. He then said "You flashed a gun sign and then you pull over so you can get out of your car and harass me!! I said "this is my house we have work to do here". Then he says "Oh great we have RACISTS in my neighborhood!! I'm filing a police report!!" He turned and walked off and I said to him "You know that's what's wrong with this country". He stopped and didn't say anything at first. Then he said "people like you think you can just harass us!!" I said your making it all up but do whatever you have to do. Surprisingly, the police haven't contacted me yet. I just hope him and his buddies don't graffiti my fence.
