[ When I was living in Austin TX I had a full beer thrown at me from a lifted truck. I was just walking, and he screamed “Get a job you homeless piece of shit”. If he was smart enough to get his truck to roll coal he would have done that too. I was pissed. Flipped him off. Full fight mode. Bro pulled into the parking lot of a nearby strip mall but sped off when he realized I was serious about fighting him. I was absolutely serious, and would have died in that parking lot if that was what God willed. Here’s the thing though, I had a car, a nice car, a brand new sports car even. I had a job, a good job, a side hustle, and I was doing drops, which means I was the plug son. I paid rent. By every metric I was not the person he was trying to target. I was just walking to the Planet K that wasn’t even a half-mile from my apartment complex. Normal shit. Walking is a revolutionary act. Because I was walking I was seen as less than, unhuman. It was a deeply radicalizing thing.

I haven’t had a car in over two years. I walk everywhere, dozens of miles a week. Gas prices should be like 11 dollars a gallon, I don’t give a fuck. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/comments/1ux4ojg/the_comments_on_any_video_involving_a_bicycle_are/)

      The funniest part is that it being so tall, it definitely limited his ability to throw accurately, since he basically had to remove his seat belt and lean full over to the passenger window
