3. This reminds me of something that happened with my wife (who I was just dating at the time)

Jan 2016

I was a new college graduate, and she was a sophomore. Her friend lived at a motel run by her father. They got it in their head to go behind the hotel and mess around (look in rooms - I don't know what). I was trying to stop them when a very angry man came out of the room holding a very large pipe wrench. I am very lucky that I talked him down. He could have killed me. All three of us were adults, and a stupid decision almost led to a battery with possible serious or deadly injuries. My wife and her friends were adults, but they were also young and stupid.

If the guy had a gun, I could just as easily been dead.
