We should start arming animals in the wild to ensure this violence stops. You'll be less likely to shoot people if you know some random deer could cap you at any second

I did this all the time when I lived in the DMV, pulling into someones driveway to make a three-point turn. But I never felt comfortable doing this in a White neighborhood, or since I moved to Georgia closer to a lot more White people. But this man needs to be jailed immediately, and the same for the one who shot the young 16 year-old brother for knocking on his door last Thursday night. But below is a story when I felt a little disrespected a few summers ago, when this brother used my driveway to make his three-point turn. But I had reason. I'll leave the story in a spoiler.

He was driving a much older car. Anyway, the only reason it irritated me a little, was because it was pitch dark, and I was in my front yard, not too far from the garage. And I was standing not far from the flood-light, making me think he recognized me. So of all the driveways he used to do his three-point turn, he chose mine, knowing I was standing right there in the light. I wasn't sure if he was visiting me, lost, or coming to do harm, because he did it so slow, without a wave or nothing. He could have a least gave me a wave, or a head nod, to let me know he was cool. He did it so slow, I just stared at him the whole time he was backing out. Then he sorta got an attitude, saying he was cool, as if though I never seen a brother do this. Then he looked at me like he wanted me to say something. Like I said, I did this plenty of times myself, but I try not to do it late at night when somebody's in their yard, and both driveways on each side of them are empty, and every other driveway on the block is empty. But if I do, just out of respect, I would at least give them a short wave, or a head nod, to let them I'm cool.

My neighborhood is mixed, and I assumed he did it because I was Black too, and he could trust me. But something still felt off, because of the reasons I just gave. And his weird response showed me I was right. Like I said, it was almost like he wanted that to turn into some kind of argument. I know the dude was jealous because I had a nice house, with the grass clean cut, etc... I was still doing yard work. I also had an additional car in the driveway, which was probably newer than the one he was driving. But I really believe he recognized me, and probably been in my neighborhood before, and probably knew I lived alone. These dudes down here take their jealousy to a whole new level. I mean those brothers get jealous fast in the DMV too, but these brothers got them slightly, and I mean slightly beat, plus a lot of them be armed down here, like I'm pretty sure this dude was. I was too, but you never wanna feel like you may have to use it.
Dap for the story, but the way it's written, you just got scared, you didn't really convey a message indicating he did anything wrong. He backed in, you got irritated, he looked at you then left. Guy had you in your feelings talking about your nice lawn, and cars and shyt....

It happens.


Now I had a white lady neighbor that lived across the street. When she moved in, she seemed nice, all the neighbors met up and shyt. She even let me go in her backyard and search when the wind took the kids drone back there.

Anyway one night I was leaving for work and I backed out, street was packed full of cars due to another neighbors adult kids, so I couldn't back out and turn, so I back out, and continuing backing out and put my back end into her driveway so I can turn and not be obstructed by cars. All of a sudden I hear screaming and yelling. This broad is in her living room with the windows open, yelling into the phone at someone "THIS IS TRESPASSING!!!!!! HE IS INVADING MY PROPERTY!!!!!" She's going off..so I just drive to work like...what the hell?

We've never had any beef, always been cordial, and now she's acting like this?????

I quickly realize, it wasn't me, I didn't do anything, it was her. Her problem, her issue, whatever it was. To wrap up the story I saw her 4 month later, step out of her house, she was completely bald. I talked to the neighbors and apparently she had developed brain cancer.......Her lashing out at me wasn't about me, or backing a little bit into her driveway, she just had her own serious shyt going on. She went to a facility for a while, the new neighbors just moved in maybe a month and a half ago. African family, young kids, they still ain't come and said what's up.

A lot of these white men have so much bytch in their blood...


We always talk about how these young boys in our community are scared of the fade...these middle aged and older white coward ass pieces of garbage wouldn't be on shyt if you took their guns away.


A lot of folks regardless of race only get brave if they have something on them.

But nothing happened. Like I said, I felt more disrespected and irritated than anything else. Even if I was scared like you're saying, why would that be a big deal. Lucky it was my driveway, and not that crazy White dude's driveway we're talking about. Btw, I thought I said he told me he was cool when he was pulling off, but with kind of an attitude...probably because of the way I was starring at him. Since he didn't give me a head nod or wave when he pulled in my driveway, all he had to do was do it while he was pulling off. Like I said, he really should have done either one of those, instead of saying something while gritting with an attitude. He was already disrespectful enough, don't you think. Don't tell me you got stuck on the nice lawn part...smh.

I'm just saying it's possible, you've gone over this scenario so many times, and told yourself the same story time and time again that he's some sort of antagonist.

It's like me with my story, it took a few days actually, I mulled it over. Maybe I said something wrong, did something wrong, maybe I was or am an offensive neighbor. Like you I take care of my yard. I try to do the things good neighbors do. Then I came to the conclusion, it isn't me. I did a deep look inward, I looked at myself from an outside perspective, I was ready to acknowledge any flaw, wrongdoing, issue problem that I had or caused and I couldn't see it. Then a few months later, I found out about the cancer.

There's been times I've had to check myself and realize I'm over thinking shyt and the issue is me.

I'm not saying you were scared like actual fear, but his actions made you think "what the hell is goin on?"

Looking at it from his perspective (like I did with the crazy white lady)...maybe he's pissed/frustrated cause he's lost or missed his turn, probably a dark ass street your the only one with the light on, he pulls in, then all of a sudden sees you, you're muggin him, he kind of feels like "shyt, this dude probably thinks I'm up to something, I just want to get the hell out of here"..kind of throws out a soft " I'm good/im cool" to let you know he doesn't mean any harm, and leaves.

I don't think you're wrong at all, you definitely aren't wrong for wanting the situation to have been better, like you said a wave or a head nod.
