As someone who had a gun to their head at age 17 in Lackawanna all I can say is you don’t react like you think you would. I wasn’t as scared as I thought I would be.
This is not to say that I’m a tough guy because I’m not. I looked the guy in the eye, and his accomplice, and asked them both, is this a joke? Are you ***** with me right now?
They weren’t trying to rob my friends or me, they didn’t like that we didn’t walk across ridge road fast enough for them in their ***** Pontiac.
If you were to ask me how I’d react to a gun to my head before that I’d probably tell you I’d be shitting my pants or even crying a bit. But it wasn’t the case. I looked them both in the eye, made sure they saw a human being, and lived to tell about it.
