Chubby white guys: watch your back. Some thug-looking civilian with no shirt, at 530 this morning, screamed that I am a George Zimmerman-looking mother****er, that I ought to be ashamed, I am Whitey, and that he was going to **** my ass up if I looked at him again. I didn't; I kept my head down and walked right in the front door, hearing his 'whitey this, cracka that, fatass Zimmerman lookin...' all the way until the glass closed behind me. Good thing I had my car keys and badge in my laughably bright yellow Navy PT gear to protect myself, should he have decided my acquiescence wasn't enough. I won't lie; I was pretty freaked out. Despite the fact that I was on gov't property, about 30 feet from the door of the building (which is placed right in the middle of the nastiest part of Newport News, VA), there was nothing between him and me but a road with no traffic. Had he decided he really wanted to do something to me, not much could have stopped him.
I'm sure we all agree that just not going to bad areas is the thing to do but unfortunately, in this particular case, I can't. This is ridiculous.
I just figured I'd share my lovely experience from this morning. Have a good day.

You had your keys; they fit nicely between the fingers of a closed fist... he may have been hopped up on spice..
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

That's what I would have tried but I kmow he was on SOMETHING and much bigger than I am. I'd prefer to get away, altogether, and I'm glad I did.

That's not cool at all. I'm glad that the situation didn't turn out any worse than it did.
On another note, how are "chubby white guys" being confused for a chubby hispanic guy? I don't get it.

Well, then there's the whole new category of white Hispanic.......
To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:
if you find one...what's your plan?

Sad as it is, the spin the media put on it makes him a white guy, white or not.

You did the same thing I would have done.
Make it a little easier for yourself...wear some earbuds or ear phones from now on walking this route...even if they are not plugged into anything...and sunglasses, even if it's raining.

Sounds like a firearm may be on the list of requirements as well. I'm glad we don't have that kind of stuff going on in my western part of the state (Roanoke Valley). At least I haven't experienced it.
I'm glad the issue did not escalate!
