I am that 'dude'. He didn't actually pull his weapon, he 'just' made as if to unholster it once (after squaring up on me like we were in the OK Corral), and then when I STILL didn't leave 'his' porch he did the same though this time unsnapping the holster and cocking the pistol. He never actually unholstered his weapon or point it at me, but that was enough for me to end my association with his crazy ass
Did the thought ever enter into your mind to draw on him and pop him one right between the eyes? Like, even in fantasty land?
Honestly, no, as I am a felon and thus not allowed to own or possess a firearm. And I don't fantasize about such. I knew what he was doing was destroying his reputation and credibility, and really until then I considered him a friend and I held out hope while this was going on that he would realize the error of his ways and immediately reverse course. But he persisted in threatening to shoot me if I didn't leave 'his' porch, so I left 'his' porch.
Btw he was upset at me because a bunch of us were going to Dale's that night for a party, and we were talking about it on the porch. Jesse lamented that he couldn't go because he wasn't allowed at Dale's, and tried to guilt us for going without him. I said "It's not my fault you can't keep your mouth shut". That wasn't the reason he wasn't allowed at Dale's, as he demonstrated just after I said that by flying off into a rage and demanding I leave his property 'or else'...
