Do you know her?

A few years ago, I caught the 16 eastbound at 4th/Nicollet and sat about halfway back. At the 4th/Marquette stop a bunch more people got on, including a guy who sat about 2 rows behind me. As the bus pulled away, dude 2 rows back started yelling clearly, but calmly: “DO YOU KNOW THE BLASPHEMING BABY RAPIST WHORE OF MINNESOTA?”

He repeated this once or twice more while I and the other passengers studiously performed the look-out-the-window-not-at-the-crazy-guy routine. He paused for a bit, but then started up again as some U students boarded at the metrodome stop. One of the students, clearly responding to the relatively reasonable tone of the yelling but having missed the content, said “I’m sorry, what?” prompting another round of the yelling. Needless to say, the students hurried to seats as far from him as they could.

By the time I got off at Cedar, dude had lost the reasonable tone and was now yelling, “YOU KNOW HER, YOU KNOW HER, AND UNTIL YOU ADMIT IT YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!”

    One time in the Detroit Library I was interupted by a schitzo woman who came in screaming her head off about how it’s gettin to be that a black woman can’t change her underwear in public no more. Then when I started clapping for her, she pointed her finger at me and said that the white man was the real devil.

    OH my god, is that dude talking about me AGAIN? I wish he’d just get over me already…we broke up, like, two years ago.
