BNSFKline almost Killed
Posted by bnsfkline on Sunday, October 26, 2003 10:02 AM
I was walking home from Walgreens with my breakfeast (Coke, Icecream and Starburst, and while walking into the street Ilive on, these blacks came out with a gun, and said they were gonna kill me, They fired at my head, and said "Get back here you white trash" I called the police when I got home, and they were charged with 3 felony counts of "Discharge of Weapon with intent to kill", "Posession of Illigal weapons", and "Conspiricy to commit murder." I guess I survived with my will, and was bit shaken up
I am not going train watching for a month after that!

The other day when you threatened to slap me with a BN sign I thought about shooting you too. [}:)] Just kidding. Glad they missed with the gunshot. [:)]

Your mother might shoot you if you don't eat a better breakfast. Starburst aren't exactly a wholesome breakfast. [:p]

Did you have your camera and "shoot" a pic of them? That would be real good evidence.

If I ever do make it up that way, don't take me there to railfan, ok . [;)]

Tell Spanish boy hello for all of us. [:o)]

Sounds like time to seriously consider relocating to a better neighborhood.

It's the second. I don't know about the law in St. Louis, but in my neck of the woods [rust belt], if you don't have a permit to carry , you better not. If the blacks were in his living room, fire away! Otherwise, he'd be in pretty big trouble. Of course, the Looney Left want to ban firearms anywhere, just as they have done in UK and Australia. There are people in jail in UK for shooting a thug in THEIR OWN HOMES. What the L.L. doesn't tell you is, the crime rate there has skyrocketed. The only people with guns there now, is the police and the thugs. They'd bring it here if they could. BNSFKline needs to do what I have done, and change his neighborhood.

BNSFKline,
Man, its good to hear you are okay. I feel for you, totally, I was nearly shot 2 and 1/2 years ago during a robbery at a part time job I was working. NEIGHBORHOOD had nothing to do with it. It was a nice neighborhood, the first armed robbery in like 40 years. Scariest thing that has ever happened to me!
Look, feel free to contact me if you'd like. I'think my email is posted but if not I'll be sure to pass it on to you. The first couple of weeks were the roughest for me but other people helped me out. I found it has been best for me to get it out, just telling people, even writing about it. I don't think about it all that much anymore.

Just keep it real, and keep posting. Good luck with everything and I hope for many more posts.

Mike

hey man, glad to know you came out ALIVE.
That's some bad 'hood you live in. Maybe want to invest in a good vest(bullet proof) and definately be sure to keep an eye out for other dangers.
Be safe!

I always heard that eating bad food can kill you, but I did not realize how true that is......



Seriously though, best wishes to you, and my hope that you are ok.. The bullet may have missed your body, but likely it made an impression on your mind.
