This guy does this kind of shit on purpose. He's a total redneck and flaunts it, even at the risk of putting himself and people around him in danger. I think he does it even more around us because he knows we're "liberals."

And he's a licensed gun carrier. Christ. I am not doing anything like this with this guy again. It's tough because he's the husband of my wife's best friend. The good thing is we live far enough away from them that these days we usually don't do that much with them on a regular basis.

The guy is totally paranoid. He's truly afraid of the world, thinks that blacks and Mexicans are out to get "us" and that they're all welfare-sucking parasites on the system. I just don't think like him. I never feel unsafe anywhere unless I've accidently driven into the "bad" part of town. But this guy feels paranoid everywhere. Downtown, suburbia, the country, it doesn't matter.
