This happened a long time ago, maybe 20 years ago when in was in my 40’s. I had a nice car at the time, a 2000 Chevy Cavalier and one day I had taken it into the Chevrolet dealership to get some work done on it. I had a couple of hours to kill before my car would be ready so I decided to walk a couple of miles to where I knew a McDonalds was.
I was walking down this busy, main street and I saw I was going to walk by a bus stop about 80 feet in front of me. So I’m walking near the bus stop and I glance up and see this girl sitting on the bench and I guy a few feet behind her. When I walk by I hear the guy say “hey” and I looked up and he had what looked like a rifle in his hands and he was aiming it at me. I freaked out, I said, “ARE YOU CRAZY?”. I was a 100% sure that guy was going to shoot me, the girl says, “Yes, he’s crazy”, and I looked closer and the guy looked weird and was dressed shabbily and I guessed he was mentally ill.
But it wasn’t a gun, he was holding like an umbrella or a walking cane or something but he was holding it like a gun. I was shook up and I had been sure I was going to die. I just kept walking. It wasn’t until much later that I got angry about it but by then it was all over.
