STORY TIEM.

SO, tonight, at work, it was very boring and whatnot, until I looked out the windows and suddenly! Seven, eight police cars right at our curb. This SUV, apparently, had be going down the road and throwing stuff out the window (drugs?) and there were reports of a weapon in the car. So they pulled into our shopping complex and were suddenly surrounded by the police cars. I watched, watched a police officer dude pull out a freaking huge M-16 and aim it at the SUV. Other officers had their pistols out and pointed at the car. All of us just kind of sat there and watched in amazement. I must also point out that people are COMPLETELY RETARDED and walked right around the officers with the guns to get to there cars. Absolutely freaking amazing. Then we watched two of the four people in the SUV get arrested, hurrah.

A couple hours later one of the police officers who was at the scene came in for a drink, and she told us that someone had put a gun to someone's head in the JC Penney's at the mall across the street. The cops had thought that the group in the SUV was responsible, but no dice. Instead, they found a knife and some other paraphernalia in the car. Dude with the gun wasn't found.

SUCH EXCITEMENT. And also really freak-out worthy, did I mention that?

ALSO, the gossip was passed around to me that yesterday, at the Marble Slab that's right next door to us, this one chick was putting in something to mix with the auger, a really really sharp auger, and it accidentally fell off and sliced her four fingers off at the knuckle. HOLY GOD. I cannot handle stuff like that, CANNOT HANDLE. I will have nightmares tonight okay.

Tomorrow I work an AWESOME shift (2:00-6:00!) and then I see Pirates again with my parents! My ass is already numb with anticipation!

Okay, that didn't sound quite right. Um.

And now, bed.

Wow. Excitement all around.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Very much so.

(Magic School Bus! N'aw!)

Wow, yay for interesting days! Though that kind of reminds me that there is a Chinese curse along those lines.

I suppose people aren't quite as stupid for walking around police as they would be if they walked in front of them, no?

Hee, you could never work where I work. I bet I could tell you some stories that would give you some real freaky nightmares.

Ahahahah, your numb ass makes me laugh.

Have a good night!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Heee, this is true! Though, honestly, I wouldn't put it past them, walking into the line of gunfire; this is Florida, after all.

Omg Char, I have the most delicate psyche ever, I swear. I saw a car accident once happen right in front of me and I was freaked out for two days, at least.

Mwah to you! ♥

[magikalrhiannon.livejournal.com]

holy crap! were there cameras?? will we see it on Cops??? Florida is on there all the freakin' time man.

See, shit like that don't happen here.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

AHAHAH, dude, THEY ARE! Even Tampa sometimes, which is a little to close to me, kthx! Aww, I wish they were. That would have been AWESOME.

[stargazertook.livejournal.com]

Dude! That's total chaos in a zip file right there! Um, promise me next time you see someone pull a gun you will duck or something, yeah? *shudders*

OMG I will have nightmares about that finger accident as well - I can't take stuff like that. *shudders again*

My ass is already numb with anticipation!

Ahahahahahahahahaha, you are so precious!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Heee! We were ready to duck and cover, ahaha. Or offer frappuchinos in supplication. You know.

I heard they had her in surgery FOUR HOURS to try and reattached them, but no dice. :( AAGHHHH. *Passes out*

*LOVES ON YOU*

[handlet.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, crazy! I love that people were all, "yeah, yeah, armed standoff. I need to get to my car."

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Seriously! They were coming out of the restaurant next door with their little boxes of FOOD and were put off that they couldn't get to their CAR. Amazing.

[distantechoes.livejournal.com]

PEOPLE ARE SO INCREDIBLY STUPID. ugh. don't get me started!

And also, OMG the JCPenny at Countryside Mall? :O
I can't imagine crazy shit going down in north Pinellas like that. Even though it does.
Also also, FINGERS. NOOOO.
A+ ghost stories. D:

[caithream.livejournal.com]

YES IT WAS!! Omg I didn't think our area was that ghetto! AHAHA.

A+ make me puke stories! *HIDES*

[heybritney.livejournal.com]

what's an auger??
that's really exciting. cept. if i worked there i would probably just freak the hell out, that's kinddd of scary.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

!!!!!

DO NOT WANT.

[heybritney.livejournal.com]

huh?
The only auger I know of is when you're skiing and as you're turning the snow is too soft so your ski sort of wedges into it or something...
*is confused*

[heybritney.livejournal.com]

oh shit. that didn't show up in my email... so THAT's an auger. holy jesus, that can't be fun.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT. It was like, two of them right next to each other griding chocolate, or something. AAAHHH.

[mousewings.livejournal.com]

That is crazy. My workplace has huge thefts and these perverts but nothing that crazy.

So the gunman's still out there? Scary.

I wouldn't believe the finger story unless there's concrete proof. I think it'd be in the news if something like that happened. It could be just gossip... although, it's a plausible truth.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, but our county (and surrounding ones) have 29384729387 billion people in them, and this kind of stuff happens more often than I ever think about, really. Oh Florida.

Heh, actually two of my coworkers saw the paramedics put her in the ambulance and everything and my manager talked to the manager over there. Freaky, freaky stuff.

[random-serious.livejournal.com]

Your neighborhood sure has some action. Also? The police had an M-16? What? Guns to people's heads? I can't even.... Wow. Not in a good way. I hope this whole thing isn't shaking you up too badly.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Surprisingly not too much! Not that you see that kind of stuff everyday, but there were TONS of police cars and police out there, so I don't think we were ever in any danger, heh.

[random-serious.livejournal.com]

I hope you're right.
