It happened on our way home from playing pool one night, my friend lived right across the street from me, we were half a block away from getting inside my apartment, you could open the front door with a credit card. We saw a small sedan with a lot of people in it pull over down the block behind us and they got out of the car calling out to us while walking towards us, my friends fight or flight kicked in, and he grabbed his cc and said let’s just go inside your crib, my dumbass was like let’s see who that is we might know them, as they approached it was a group of Hispanic guys a few of them in hoodies, there was 6 or 7 of them. I recognized one of them, he was a kid a few years younger then me that I use to play basketball with at the park, he was extremely high with blood shot eyes, he had gotten jumped really badly by some Italian kids a few days prior, so they were out looking for revenge, he also recognized me and we said what’s up, but the biggest one of the bunch seemed like he was looking to do something, my friend is like 80 feet ahead of me going towards my apt, he had on a gold Jesus piece and a gold Rolex, the big guy said hey we want your friends jewelry, my friend started screaming “I can’t give them to you my mom gave me these.” And within a few seconds I was completely surrounded, I started seeing them take out their weapons, I turned my head to see one in a hoody holding the long hammer to his side leaning on a small tree, in the spur of the moment, i kept telling the kid I knew, that i thought we were cool, and that I was right in front of my house and pointed up to my parents bedroom with the window open, I started to talk louder, and they kept telling me to lower my voice, they started to get spooked a bit that, i walked right up to the kid I knew, and told him he knows who jumped him and he should go find them, luckily he was aware that I was friends with some well connected people, so I started to tell him he knows who I know and this would be a bad idea, he took a second and realized it was and he apologized and they left. I wasn’t scared during the process, but later on I realized how bad the entire situation could of turned out, and it scared the shit out of me, should of listened to my friends initial instinct.
