Long story short. I was at a gas station in the ghetto about 30 minutes ago. And as I'm walking in a black guy and his fat bitch come out. I didn't think nothing of It But as I'm paying the clerk. I noticed they stopped outside and arguing about something. So I walk out to my car he starts talking shit. Saying snitches get stitches. I'm like WTF? I act like I don't hear him. But as soon as I get ready to pump gas he starts walking to me.
Me. Can I help you sir?
Him. What
Me I'm sorry sir I can't here you.
Him. oh you can't here me. You can't here me.
Me. what?
Him. what. What. What. You can't here me.
Still slowly walking towards me about 15ft away.
Me. Sir what are you saying
Him. Stop snitching?
Me. I'm sorry sir. I think you're mistaken me for someone else.
At this point he's less then 10ft away. I'm mindful of keeping A safe distance. So I take a few steps back.
Him. I'm going to Break your jaw.
So I'm going in defense mode. I keep my G22 at my 5 O'clock. I untuck the back of my shirt. And get a grip on it ready to pull out.
He's still talking shit. But my adrenaline pumping hard because I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to shoot this guy if he leaves me no choice. I'm backpedaling to my driver side door. At the same time yelling at him to stay back. I guess he noticed my hand behind my back and probably figured out when I had. So he started walking away. I paid for $10 of gas but I just took off.
Now I know some of you might call me a pussy for this. But I believe staying there longer than necessary would've ended badly. What all the shit light-skinned people face shooting black men I didn't want to make the 6 O'clock news and deal with all the BS. unless I had to. Which was very borderline.
As far I can tell I did not see a visible weapon on him.
So my question is what could have done better in this situation. I tried my best to diffuse the situation and not use deadly force. Part of me is proud of the discipline I showed. On the other my ego is a little bruised having to retreat like that.
