     A Night to Remember     The round traumatic experience Ive ever gone through was getting held up by three Mexicans. In some ways I wo my actions. If I had it my way, I would go back and handle myself a attraction differently. Luckily, this situation now makes me think more when Im in other distort situations.     It all started Halloween night 2001 in Dallas, Texas. My girlfriend, Tamara and I were driving from her house to tap for the night. It was about a thirty-minute drive and somewhere along the way we got separated. Tamara called me about five minutes from my house and told me there were some guys following her. I said "okay, well meet me in front of my house and Ill imbibe who it is. I thought it would be a bunch of high schoolhouse punks. Tamara pulled up to my house and so did a red Ford Taurus. speckle pulling in the Taurus pinned Tamaras car in so it couldnt move. Thats when these guys really st arted pissing me off. The guys in the Taurus didnt realize I was there because I had my lights off so I turned my brights on and speed in front of there car and got out and yelled "What the fuck be you doing following my girlfriend." After saying this I looked into the car and realized that these guys werent in high school. They were three adult Mexican males who didnt look too felicitous with the words I had spoken. After a brief pause the military personnel from the passenger seat got out of the car and shouted "what the fuck did you skilful say to me?" I froze in total shock as he pulled a throttle on me and told me he was going to shoot me. I was totally numb at this point, as anyone would be. He then started holler that I wasnt such a big existence now and that I was just a punk ass white boy. The man started request me what I thought about dieing and asking me if I wanted to die. I responded surprisingly calm and said "no sir, I dont want to die, and Id like to live". The man must have asked me if I wanted to die a dozen or so times. The man continued to walk around ranting and raving and shouting at me. While walking around shouting he was waving his gun in my face which was making me very nervous.
