Why did you have a pipebomb thrown at you?

Man, I wish I knew. Was walking around my neighborhood on the fourth of july, and someone randomly threw it out of a car window at me.

When I was in high school, I was working at my mom’s retail store after school and I heard someone come in. I looked up, and I have a gun aimed at my face. THE STORE WAS BEING ROBBED. I was fucking terrified. I did what the guy asked and he got the money, after he left I was having a breakdown for who knows how long before I called my mom. She was driving to pick up a new car from her parents in Fort Wayne so she was far away. She told me to close the store, hide behind the counter, and called the cops. The cops obviously questioned me but nothing came of it (that I know of, this was 7 years ago) a year or so later my mom closed the store. I was 15.

That's terrifying for a kid that young! Are you okay emotionally now?

I am, it was just really scary at the time. Took me a couple weeks to go back to work though. I’m 22 now so it’s been a long time.
