Oh man one time in middle school my school went into lockdown every day due to something because of this one kid who was picked on was doing. He had this weeklong plan of events starting with a fake bomb threat, a fire on tuesday, a blackout on wednesday, a real bomb threat on thursday, and an actual shooting on friday. He was smart enough to make the first three days happen without getting caught but because he actually planted a real bomb on thursday they got really serious in their search and I think another student ratted him out. Then when they caught him they found out he planned to kill himself after the shooting and had recorded a suicide message right in what sounded like the middle of gym class, and they broadcasted the suicide message on the intercom on Friday morning as some sort of moral thing when in reality it was kind of creepy that they did that, even to my sixth grade self.
Oh and one time the school got locked down on my birthday in seventh grade, but it was just a naked guy with a shotgun this time. I thought it was hilarious and I happened to get locked in art class so me and a couple of guys at my table started drawing a naked guy with a shotgun in his hand.
Middle school was so real.
"Just a naked guy with a shotgun"?
Dude......
Man, I would have been scared like hell in both those cases honestly.
----------------------------------
Well, I got some threats myself, but although they frightened me, I didn`t think someone would actually kill me. Thats the good thing about being a nobody, it really lowers the incentive for others to murder you, haha.
They were just trying to scare me probably. It happened at a former job, where I made some enemies. I hit some guy in the face while working by accident (well his version of this story is different) and he got furious, he threatened only to beat me up.
Another guy at work threatened my life, after a longer period of trouble between him and me. I don`t even really know what happened, he insulted me because I wasn`t as strong as him, he was built like a bodybuilder. So I mentioned we all had our strengths and weaknesses, then after a fair assessment of his weaknesses after he as earlier mentioned analyzed mine, he got all mad. He actually kept saying he would kill me. It felt a bit unreal, but there are crazy enough people out there, he didn`t turn out to be one of them. Some people huh? Weirdos.
Oh and some other guy pulled a knife on me. Also a longer fight. He threatened long before that to throw someone in the water while we were fishing as a group. But the boy he said it to was much younger, so I told him if he would attempt it, I`d throw him in the water. After that he pretty much stalked me and always asked me to fight. So when I finally accepted he refused and sent his friend after me. He pulled that knife on me. He held it close to my throat for a while and said he could easily cut it. I don`t think I was very impressed, it made me laugh. He didn`t react to well to that, but he did stop after a while. After pulling a knife and saying something like that, it becomes impossible to pull it back and do nothing without looking like a dumbass, but thats still exactly what he did.
Pure insanity, all of it. I have many memories like this, I was an easy person to pick on. I still truly believe most of them thought it instilled some form of quiet respect for them in me. They couldn`t be more wrong. Imagine having to look back on such childhood behaviour from yourself. Being bullied isn`t an easy burden for my shoulders, but atleast I treated people with respect. More then they deserved, but so be it. Being a complete wanker to people for no other reason then being able to do it and get away with it is sad beyond words. I could never carry such a past on my shoulders.
