metaweb says Jul 03, 2008 10:58PM I was just assaulted with a pistol at a convenience store .. luckily no one was killed.
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:01AM It was just like in the movies .. they made me get on the floor and they put a gun to my head, luckily I left my wallet and cell at home
nnorris says Jul 04, 2008 04:02AM Oh my god! I pray for you. My mom worked at a gas station and she was held up 3 times - shook for a week!
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:05AM Stupid me .. I saw them coming out of the back room, and I had 200 (20 bucks) pesos in my hand ... I threw them between bags of chips
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:05AM risky, but I walked out of there with my 200 pesos .. all the other customers were robbed
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:07AM THe police came about 10 minutes after they left .. but later I thought that was good, if conflict had escalated, who knows what would have.
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:09AM Yes, I am OK ... I have lived in Mexico since June 2001 and nothing has ever happened to me here ... can't say that anymore
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:16AM I thought they would have taken my watch but they wanted money ... still got my watch too. It´s old but I'm attached to it, he he
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:18AM Thanks everyone. What's really upsetting is that I have to return to housework now .. houseguests arriving in middle of night.
Teryl feels Jul 04, 2008 04:19AM glad that her plurk friend is OK and that there is support out here for you. Wow...will be thinking of u!
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:30AM Thanks again, the funny (or stupid) part was that after all that I still needed to get some things. So I walked to the next convience store.
kimcaise says Jul 04, 2008 04:34AM glad you are ok. i wouldn't be able to type or think straight. glad you kept your senses about you.
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:38AM kcaise I even commented on a blog post too. But now cleaning bathrooms, 3 of them. I live alone, I don't need 3 bathrooms! ha ha
mindelei Jul 04, 2008 04:50AM Wow...you're right about hiding that cash in the potato chip isle. You're lucky they believed that you didn't have any money with you.
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 04:58AM mindelei I had about 10 pesos in change in my pocket, but still you are right, it looked like I was trying to fool them, realized too late
mindelei says Jul 04, 2008 05:02AM At least you learned a valuable lesson for future situations you hope you'll never have to repeat. Right? Glad you're alright.
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 05:20AM mindelei definitely .. I was even thinking that what happened tonight save my life in the future some how.
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 05:21AM I was the last person that they assaulted and I think by the time they got to me they were worried about the police arriving, that helped me
stiophain is Jul 04, 2008 05:58AM relieved to hear that Frank is all right; a little shaken up, but who wouldn't be?
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 07:09AM mindelei ha ha ha Unfortunately Detroit is still much worse than here ... let's put it this way, Morelia is Heaven Detroit Hell!
Franklin is Jul 04, 2008 10:33AM sorry that happenned, but perhaps something useful for you can be distiled from it, you'll know better what is it.
mcarls Jul 04, 2008 10:50AM I thought you were joking until I saw 39 responses. Unreal. Sorry to hear that, hope the 4th is less eventful!
EdVentures says Jul 04, 2008 01:06PM I'm catching up late, but am so glad you're ok! Take it easy on the excitement, k?
metaweb says Jul 04, 2008 02:37PM Thanks everyone. I had the best morning coffee story in the office, that is for sure!
