But also I moved into a new place last month in kind of a...weird part of town. Kinda sketchy sometimes but I never felt unsafe.
Well tonight I took my kid outside to get one of his toys out of the car and I heard someone say "are you fucking kidding me man?" And then someone ran out of the alley across from my house. Then another guy came stumbling towards me saying that he needed help. I told him to stay back because I had my kid and he said someone stabbed him. I told him to sit down on the curb and took my kid inside and got my phone.
I called 911 and as I was talking to them I noticed that he was bleeding profusely from his fucking face. I grabbed a towel and suddenly had to alternate between telling the dispatcher what was happening, reassuring this guy that he wasn't going to die, and keeping my kid inside. I also realized a car had been idling across the street and as soon as I heard sirens they took off.
Then about 25 cops showed up in the span of a couple minutes. Dogs and guns and body armor. It was insane. I have to move now.
If i had gone out there a minute or two earlier, I could have been stabbed. If I hadn't gone out there, this dude might have bled to death. I still don't know if he's okay. He seemed to think he was going to die, but I think that's a normal reaction to being stabbed in the fucking face. Oh also the stabber wasn't caught and probably won't be.
Anyways, I'm back. Hiiiiii
That's nuts man. I have had some similar experiences with where I used to work for years, but I never lived in that neighborhood. I can't even imagine the feelings with having my kids around that. Keep safe.
